## Resource

Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, is still recovering from a fall and pneumonia that hospitalized him in June, now undergoing rehab to prevent future falls. Though he’s not yet returning to the Senate floor, he remains active behind the scenes, consulting staff and staying engaged with colleagues. His office released his first public statement since his hospitalization, as the Senate also mourns the recent passing of Senator Lindsey Graham.
