IrelandUS Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), 84, has been discharged from a rehabilitation center after being hospitalized following a fall at his home. McConnell had been absent from the Senate since mid-June, raising concerns about his health among lawmakers and the public. While he plans to continue his recovery at home, his absence has complicated Republican efforts to confirm Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's former personal attorney, as Attorney General. McConnell's office previously provided limited details about his condition but later revealed that a fall and mild pneumonia led to his hospitalization. Both Democratic and Republican politicians have expressed concern over his prolonged absence.
