Mitch McConnell: “You don't get this under socialism because there is no profit under socialism.”

As always, I appreciate all of your continued well wishes, and I’m looking forward to getting back to the Senate and to Kentucky soon.

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.

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.
