Summary
Senator Mitch McConnell, still in rehab after a fall and recovering from polio-related mobility issues, won’t attend the Fancy Farm picnic in Kentucky — a major political event he’s attended for 42 years. His office confirmed he’s not cleared by doctors to leave rehab yet, despite daily physical therapy. McConnell expressed disappointment but sent well wishes to the organizers, while reaffirming his commitment to finishing his Senate term and returning to Washington and Kentucky soon.
