Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, announced Thursday that he was leaving the rehabilitation center where he had been treated since a fall in June. He will continue his recovery at home.

Absent from the Capitol for several weeks, Mitch McConnell himself announced Thursday his release from the rehabilitation center where he had been hospitalized. The 84-year-old Republican senator had been taken to the hospital after a fall in June, though the details of the incident were not publicly disclosed.

This prolonged absence had fueled growing speculation about the health of one of the most influential members of the U.S. Senate. McConnell indicated that he would continue his recovery at home, without giving a specific timeframe for a possible return to his duties.
