# Mitch McConnell leaves rehab, remains at home, not returning to Senate 2026-08-06T21:57:06+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Senator Mitch McConnell left a rehabilitation facility on 6 August and returned home, but he made clear he will not yet go back to Washington. The 84-year-old Kentucky Republican was hospitalised on 14 June after a fall that briefly knocked him unconscious, and later developed a mild case of pneumonia during his stay. He plans to continue intensive physical therapy from home during the Senate’s state work period. His prolonged absence has drawn criticism, with Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Andy Beshear calling on McConnell to resign unless he provides public proof of his capacity to serve. An aide declined to say why McConnell has not recorded a video message for constituents. The senator, who chairs the Senate Rules Committee and is not seeking re-election, says he remains engaged with staff and colleagues remotely. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: health, Kentucky, Mitch McConnell, Senate, US politics Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mcconnell-leaves-rehab-continues-senate-work-from-home/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
