@wallstreetjournal: Sen. Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) voted at the Capitol on Monday for the first time in three months, after a fall that raised concerns about his health and whether he would return to work. He arrived in a wheelchair flanked by his chief of staff and a longtime aide, addressing the press in brief remarks outside the Senate chamber that Senate officials didn’t allow to be videotaped. “I must admit, after two years of—decades actually—of dodging your questions, I wasn’t sure how many of you would be here today,” McConnell joked to reporters. His speech wasn’t clearly enunciated and at times hard to make out. McConnell gave a thumbs-up during the first vote, a procedural measure on confirming a federal judge. The former Senate majority leader was hospitalized June 14 after he briefly lost consciousness and fell. His office provided little information for weeks, fueling speculation that he was in a coma or otherwise incapacitated. Ultimately, McConnell released a statement on July 12 that his lengthy Senate absence and hospitalization had been due to a fall and a subsequent bout of pneumonia. McConnell in recent years has suffered repeated falls, a concussion and public freezing episodes. McConnell’s office had also released photos of the senator and his wife, Elaine Chao, but he hadn’t appeared publicly. Several allies said they had spoken with him while he was recovering.
