McConnell still in rehab, not cleared to return to Senate after June fall

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell remains in a rehabilitation facility and has not yet been medically cleared to leave after a June fall that led to hospitalization. Officials say he’s engaged in a strenuous, multi‑session physical-therapy program to rebuild strength and reduce future fall risk, with mobility still affected by childhood polio; he will miss this weekend’s Fancy Farm picnic and is not yet able to return to his Senate duties.
