## Resource

Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is back on Capitol Hill after a medical absence, attending key votes including the farm bill’s Senate Agriculture Committee move. Governor Andy Beshear welcomed his return, urging Kentuckians to watch how McConnell performs and emphasizing that elected officials must be present and capable. Beshear hopes for continued recovery as McConnell, 84 and not seeking re-election, prepares to conclude his long Senate tenure. His comeback underscores broader questions about public service and the health of lawmakers expected to serve fully.
