Sen. Mitch McConnell discharged from rehab center following hospitalization in mid-June

The Republican senator said he would continue to work from home and didn’t provide a timeline for his Senate return.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday that he has been discharged from a rehabilitation center where he was recovering from a fall he suffered in mid-June.

“Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home. Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I’ve received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff,” McConnell said in a statement.

McConnell, 84, said he would continue to work from home, and he did not provide a timeline for his return to the Senate, which is expected to begin a five-week recess in the coming days.

Uncertainty surrounding McConnell’s health has swirled for weeks following his June 14 hospitalization, after which he had not been seen in public. His staff has repeatedly refused to answer questions about his condition, prompting calls for transparency from some critics, including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.

Police scanner audio NBC News obtained last month indicated that paramedics conducted CPR on a person experiencing a “cardiac arrest” at McConnell’s address.
