Senator Mitch McConnell’s communications director, David Popp, came out with a statement to the press explaining the minority leader’s next steps in his treatment plan.
“At the advice of his physician, the next step will be a period of physical therapy at an inpatient rehabilitation facility before he returns home.”
“The Leader and Secretary Chao are deeply thankful for the skilled medical care, prayers, and kindness they have received,” Popp said for McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao.

“That decision will be made by the leader’s physicians and the therapists,” explained the Spokesperson.
“It is very common to undergo physical therapy to regain strength after a hospital stay and this ranges anywhere from a week to two weeks,” he added.
McConnell could potentially break the record of the longest-serving party leader if he can return to his work. He will tie the record for longest-serving party leader in senate history next year.
