Mitch McConnell: “I'm going to let the people of Alabama make the call where this election has been going on for a long time.”

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.

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

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