Mitch McConnell has been discharged from a rehabilitation center.
The Senator will continue his recovery from home after hospitalization.
He experienced a fall and developed pneumonia earlier this year.
McConnell is 84 years old and has been out of the public eye since June.
He plans to maintain a regimen of physical therapy and engage with Senate staff.

Senator Mitch McConnell announced his discharge from a rehabilitation center on Thursday, stating he will continue recovering at home. McConnell, 84, had been hospitalized since mid-June following a fall and a mild case of pneumonia, and he was not "medically cleared" to return to the Senate until now, according to CBS News, Reuters, and SCMP.

In his statement, McConnell emphasized he will maintain an "intensive regimen of physical therapy" while continuing to engage with his staff and colleagues on Senate matters. His remarks reflect ongoing concerns regarding his health, which have led to speculation about his future role within the Senate, according to BBC, Reuters, and SCMP.

During his time away from public view, he had been focused on working with his legislative staff and keeping in contact with fellow Senate members. His recovery and continued participation in Senate activities are viewed as critical for his ongoing legislative contributions, according to BBC and SCMP.
