Senator Mitch McConnell's staff has indicated a hoped-for return date for the senator, who has been absent from Washington due to health issues. House Oversight Chair James Comer of Kentucky reported that McConnell's staff is aiming for his return when the Senate resumes session on September 14. Comer communicates regularly with McConnell's staff, as their offices often collaborate on state matters.

Comer expressed his expectation for McConnell's return, stating that the senator's staff has shared this goal with him. Although Comer has not spoken directly to McConnell, he has been in touch with the senator's staff, many of whom are from his district.

Further details on McConnell's expected return are available, including a related story about his release from a rehabilitation center.
