Mitch McConnell: “Listen, this is behind us. We will have a new Idaho senator soon. We expect him to resign.”

Part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work.

I'm still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors' orders.

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.

I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you.
