Sen. Mitch McConnell returned to Capitol Hill on Monday for the first time after a three-month absence due to health issues.
He was seen leaving his home in a wheelchair en route to the Capitol.
“Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues,” the GOP senator from Kentucky said in a statement.
Some news sites and live streamers jumped the gun hoping to make the headlines about his absence. They were obviously not in the loop and not paying attention.
