Sen. Mitch McConnell has been discharged from a medical rehabilitation center, he announced on Thursday, following a June hospitalization that prompted a lengthy absence from Congress.

“Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home,” he said in a statement. “Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I’ve received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.”
