· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican from Kentucky, returned to the Senate on Monday after an absence of more than three months. 'Today I will cast my first vote in the Senate since I suffered a severe fall in June. I am eager to be back on the Senate floor and see my colleagues,' McConnell wrote in a statement on Monday. The senator added that his recovery had been 'a long and frustrating process' and mentioned that it had been complicated by 'persistent effects of the polio I had in childhood.' 'I am not fully recovered yet, but I have assured Leader Thune that while I continue with physical therapy following my doctors' recommendations, I will do my best to be present for tough votes when our caucus needs me,' McConnell added.
