Mitch McConnell: “Was degrading Iran’s nuclear capability without expanding the U.S. military footprint in the Middle East a mistake?”

But rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you.

As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won't be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet.

So I hate that I’ll miss the fun this year, but I’m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic.

I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.
