## Resource

Senator Mitch McConnell is currently recovering at a rehab center after recent health setbacks, including falls and a concussion, linked to his long-standing post-polio condition. Despite his physical challenges — including using a wheelchair and struggling with stairs — he remains active in Senate affairs, even sharing a photo with his wife to debunk online rumors. A Senate veteran since 1984 and longtime GOP leader, McConnell continues to show up for votes while his health struggles have drawn growing public concern. His recovery is ongoing, with updates expected as he focuses on healing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
