Now in rehab, he’s focused on recovery while assuring colleagues and constituents he’s still actively engaged in Senate work. His temporary absence comes at a politically sensitive moment, as the GOP’s slim Senate majority shrinks following Lindsey Graham’s death. McConnell, set to retire in January, vows to finish his term and tackle unfinished business for Kentucky. This isn’t his first health scare—he’s battled mobility issues since childhood polio and has had multiple falls recently. His physical therapy aims to prevent future falls and keep him strong for the remainder of his career. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
