Summary
John Thune said Monday he is hopeful Mitch McConnell will return to the Senate this week after the Kentucky Republican was hospitalized.
McConnell’s office disclosed the hospitalization Sunday but gave no details on his condition or the reason for his admission, a departure from some previous health updates.
An ex-McConnell staffer said the seven-term senator was doing much better Monday, though no further information was provided.
Thune said he had not spoken directly with McConnell and was relying on updates from the senator’s staff as the chamber heads into a busy week.
