Mitch McConnell: “Republicans are united in opposition to raising the debt ceiling.”

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

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.

On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period.

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