Mitch McConnell has made a public appearance after months away. He spoke briefly to reporters and cast his first vote since returning to work. McConnell was using a wheelchair during his appearance.

He mentioned being prepared to work on a bill, but did not answer all questions from reporters. Further information about his hospitalization is available from other sources.

McConnell's return to work comes after he was hospitalized earlier this year, with initial details being limited, but he later stated that he had been admitted for care after a fall.
