Mitch McConnell: “I want to commend you for that decision. I don't think you could have picked a better person to do it.”

I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.

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

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.

Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct – I can’t help it.
