Senator Mitch McConnell made his return to the U.S. Senate on Monday after an absence for three months. He was on medical leave after the fall at his home in Washington. The fall happened before the leave and required medical care. McConnell recuperated at home during his leave.
His return came for a key vote on the Senate floor. This was his first appearance in the chamber since the fall. The medical leave stemmed directly from the fall and its aftermath. McConnell is the Senate Minority Leader, and his return was noted by colleagues.
