Mitch McConnell: “Failure is not an option.”

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

Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home.

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.

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.
