DC Rumor: Mitch McConnell Might Never Return to the Senate
Independent Sentinel ^ | - March 15, 2023 | By M Dowling

Posted on 03/15/2023 11:45:50 AM PDT by Red Badger

According to the NY Times, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell had been under observation since suffering a concussion during a fall on Wednesday. He also has a “minor rib fracture,” his office said. He’s off to rehab and rumor has it that he might never return.

Mitch McConnell could be sidelined.

A spokesman, David Popp, said that the lawmaker’s “concussion recovery is proceeding well” and that Mr. McConnell, 81, had been discharged from George Washington University Hospital, where he was taken after the accident at the Waldorf Astoria on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington about 9 p.m. Wednesday.

“At the advice of his physician,” Mr. Popp added in a statement, “the next step will be a period of physical therapy at an inpatient rehabilitation facility before he returns home.”

D.C.. resident and radio host Chris Plante said on his radio show this morning that Mitch is in rehab and might never return to the Senate. That would be great news, but then, who replaces him?

We wish him good health and happiness, but not as a Senate leader.

Media censorship is so good that this is the first time I have heard of it. I don’t want to be guilty of wishing ill upon anyone so I will not say another word.

Thank you. A pity it took more than 50 posts for this to show up, given that the topic has been around for several days.

According to the US Constitution the Executive Officer/Governor can choose a replacement until the next election cycle............
