Senator Mitch McConnell, the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican and former Senate majority leader, has been released from a rehabilitation center and will continue his recovery from a fall and pneumonia at home.
McConnell said in a statement that he will maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period and will continue to engage with his staff and colleagues on important Senate business.
McConnell had been out of public view since mid-June, when he was taken from his home to a hospital in the Washington area for reasons that were not disclosed until July 12. At that time, McConnell said he suffered a fall in mid-June that left him briefly unconscious. While hospitalized, he developed pneumonia and was treated with antibiotics.
