Sen. Mitch McConnell is returning to Capitol Hill on Monday for the first time in three months after an extended absence due to health issues, CNN reports. The 84-year-old Kentucky Republican was seen leaving his home in a wheelchair on his way to the Capitol. “Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June,” McConnell said, adding that he is “still not quite back to 100%” but plans to be present for tough votes. McConnell was hospitalized in June after suffering a fall and later contracting pneumonia, and subsequently spent time in a rehabilitation facility before continuing his recovery at home.
