Senator Mitch McConnell, the former Republican leader, is still recovering in a hospital, but his office has not disclosed details about his condition or when he might return to the Capitol.
McConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14.

An initial statement said he was receiving excellent care, and a week later his office confirmed he would miss votes.
A subsequent update noted he continues to improve and appreciates the support.
No further updates have been issued, and a spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.
The 84-year-old Kentucky senator has faced multiple health challenges in recent years.
In March 2023, he suffered a concussion and missed weeks of work after a fall at a Washington hotel.
Later that summer, he twice froze during press conferences, requiring assistance from colleagues and staff.

A year later, McConnell fell again and sprained his wrist while leaving a GOP luncheon.
He contracted polio as a child and has long had difficulty walking and climbing stairs.
In 2019, he tripped at his Kentucky home and needed surgery for a fractured shoulder.
McConnell is the longest-serving Senate leader in history, having led Senate Republicans from 2007 until last year.
He stepped down from the leadership role but remains an active rank-and-file senator, often using a wheelchair to move around the Capitol.
He is serving his final term, which ends in January.
