Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will return to the chamber Monday after recovering from a fall that left him with a concussion and fractured rib.
The Kentucky Republican fell last month at a Washington, D.C., hotel and has been absent from the Senate since. Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., working with McConnell’s leadership staff, has been the GOP’s point man. That will change next week.
“I am looking forward to returning to the Senate on Monday. We’ve got important business to tackle and big fights to win for Kentuckians and the American people,” McConnell said in a Thursday tweet. His March trip-and-fall came during a fundraising event.
