Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) shared new details about his health in a statement Thursday.
"Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home," McConnell said.
His discharge is the first official update in weeks regarding his health.
McConnell also thanked supporters, colleagues, constituents, and medical staff who assisted with his care.
"On the advice of my doctors, I'll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I'll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business," the statement read.
McConnell did not specify when he plans to return to Congress or provide details about his condition.
The announcement comes after weeks of public speculation about his well-being and recovery following his June hospitalization, during which he reportedly received CPR after being found unconscious.
