TL;DR

Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate after more than three months hospitalized following a fall, casting his first vote since June and saying he’ll be present for crucial votes even though he’s not yet at 100% due to lingering effects from childhood polio. With a narrow 53-47 GOP majority, his absence had spurred questions about leadership as Democrats used the moment to push a resolution on Iran; McConnell is not seeking an eighth term and is set to finish his final term in January 2027.
