Summary
Thom Tillis said outside Mitch McConnell’s Washington home that he has been living for months in a separate carriage house on the property after selling his condo in March.
McConnell’s office disclosed the 84-year-old had been discharged from rehabilitation and would continue intensive physical therapy at home while staying engaged in Senate business, prompting reporters to gather at the residence.
Tillis said he had not been visiting McConnell but understood the Kentucky senator was “doing OK” after leaving rehab; other visitors, including Congress’s attending physician Brian Monahan, gave no public update.
McConnell’s aides have faced weeks of criticism for sparse disclosure since he was found unconscious and required CPR on June 14, releasing only two photos and no video nearly two months later.
McConnell’s continued absence could complicate Senate Republicans’ push on Donald Trump’s agenda before a five-week recess and threaten close confirmation votes, including acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
