McConnell Returns to Senate Floor | Global News

Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, made a triumphant return to the Senate floor this week after a hospital stay from a recent fall — his first appearance since then. Despite lingering effects from childhood polio and still not at full strength, he’s determined to be present for key votes as Congress gears up for November elections that could reshape its balance of power. Known for his 41-year Senate tenure and record as longest-serving GOP leader, McConnell announced last year he won’t seek re-election — but his health has been a concern lately, including a concussion last year and another minor fall in 2024. Seen wheeling himself to his car before casting a vote on a judicial nomination, he’s proving his commitment to Kentucky and his duties — even if it’s not quite back to full speed.
