McConnell 'wants to be back' in Senate after hospitalization: Thune

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) on Monday gave an update on Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), saying he is ready to come back to Capitol Hill following his most recent hospitalization.

McConnell, 84, was hospitalized Sunday for reasons that haven’t been made public, after experiencing visible symptoms of aging in the last several years. The latest development came after the elderly senator had a roughly eight-day hospital stay in February for “flu-like symptoms.”
