Mitch McConnell Returns to Senate After Months-Long Absence

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell returned to Capitol Hill on Monday and cast his first Senate vote in several months, ending an absence of more than 13 weeks after he was hospitalized in June following a fall. The 84-year-old Kentucky lawmaker said he looked forward to being back on the Senate floor; his prolonged absence had fueled widespread speculation about his health.
