# McConnell plans Senate return in September, Jennings says 2026-08-12T07:27:38+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to return to the US Senate when lawmakers reconvene in September, according to conservative commentator Scott Jennings, who said the Kentucky Republican called him directly from his phone on Tuesday. Jennings said McConnell discussed the Michigan Senate race, the farm bill and the filibuster, and appeared to be in an 'improving position' after a fall on June 14 that left him hospitalised for two months. McConnell has not made a public appearance since the fall, leading Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear to demand that he directly reassure his constituents. Jennings' account is the most detailed update on McConnell's condition, though the senator himself has not spoken publicly. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Andy Beshear, Kentucky, Mitch McConnell, recovery, Scott Jennings, US Senate Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mcconnell-in-improving-position-called-ally-from-home/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
