Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) broke weeks of silence about his health on Sunday, saying he was hospitalized last month after he “took a fall” and he doesn’t expect “to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet.”

In a statement addressed to his constituents, McConnell revealed it was a fall that landed him in the hospital, saying his physical vulnerabilities “haven’t exactly gotten easier to manage with age.”
