According to reports, US Senator Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate after being absent for 92 days. The 84-year-old continued physical therapy while recovering from pneumonia and the sequelae of childhood polio. His return comes at a critical moment as Republicans prepare to vote again this week on a massive agricultural aid and funding package. The legislation failed to advance the last time Senate Republicans proposed it without a critical vote from McConnell.
