CNN —Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will return to the Senate on Monday following an absence as he recovered from a fall, the Kentucky Republican said Thursday. He was treated for a concussion and a rib fracture before being released to an inpatient rehabilitation facility for physical therapy. In a statement, the Senate GOP leader said that, following advice from his physical therapists, he would “spend the next few days working for Kentuckians and the Republican Conference from home.”Earlier this year, McConnell became the longest-serving party leader in Senate history. During his absence, Senate Republicans who spoke with the McConnell said he was itching to get back to the chamber. 2 Senate Republican, Minority Whip John Thune, noted that he was “anxious” to return, and Texas Sen. John Cornyn told reporters that McConnell was “chomping at the bit” to come back to the Capitol.
