The Kentucky senator was hospitalized on June 14 after losing consciousness. The exact nature of his injuries has not been made public, and the 84-year-old's lack of comment has led to speculation about his condition.

He was allowed to go home on Thursday, he wrote in a statement, saying that he would be working from home. However, he did not give any information about when he would be able to return to work as a senator in Washington, DC.

McConnell's absence from the Senate, where Republicans have a narrow majority, has made it difficult for President Donald Trump to pass certain legislation.
