Senator Mitch McConnell has been discharged from a rehabilitation facility and will continue recovering at home, his office said. The Kentucky Republican has been absent from Congress for nearly two months after a health episode that led to his hospitalization. McConnell said he plans to keep working from home as he recovers. The senator, who is the Republican leader in the Senate, was admitted to the facility after his hospital stay. Details about the health episode have not been released. His return to the Senate has not been announced. McConnell, 81, has served in the Senate since 1985. He has faced health challenges in the past, including a fall earlier this year. The discharge marks a step forward in his recovery, but no timeline has been given for when he will resume his duties in Washington. During his absence, his office has said he has remained in contact with colleagues and staff. The senator expressed gratitude for the medical care he received and said he looks forward to returning to work. His absence has drawn attention to the narrow Republican majority in the chamber, with some votes delayed. McConnell's recovery at home will allow him to continue his responsibilities remotely, according to aides. No further details about his condition were provided.
