McConnell leaves rehab, continues recovery at home

Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has been discharged from a rehabilitation center and will continue his recovery at home, his office announced Thursday. The 84-year-old former Senate leader was hospitalized on June 14 after a fall and has been absent from the Senate for 53 days, raising concerns about his health. He plans to undergo intensive physical therapy at home and remain engaged with staff and colleagues. His absence narrows Republicans' path to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general before the Senate recess.
