Mitch McConnell: “The Senate has more than sufficient to process a nomination.”

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.

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.

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

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