Mitch McConnell: “I made an ass of myself last year going on T.V. every night, saying bring me Donald Trump, we want to Donald Trump…”

But, my, how times have changed. Today, western Kentucky is a conservative Republican sea of red.

There’s no place I’d rather be on the first Saturday in August than with the good people of western Kentucky, feasting on pork and mutton.

Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I've received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.

And I’ll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business.
