Episode Details

Senator Mitch McConnell is stepping back into the spotlight—literally—after a rehab stint following a July fall that hospitalized him. At 84, he’s grateful for the support, committed to continuing physical therapy from home, and determined to finish his Senate business before stepping down in 2025. His mobility struggles, rooted in a past polio diagnosis, haven’t eased with age—but he’s pushing through. While he’ll be working remotely during the Senate recess, key votes will be missed before his return on September 14th. This isn’t his first health-related pause—he’s been hospitalized twice in recent years, including a public moment of apparent freezing last year. Still, McConnell’s focus remains on duty, even if his office is now his living room.
