House Oversight Chair James Comer of Kentucky said Thursday that Sen. Mitch McConnell’s staff have told him they are hoping the senator – who has had an extended absence from Washington due to health issues – will return when the Senate comes back into session on September 14.
Although he said he has not spoken to McConnell directly, Comer said he communicates regularly with the senator’s staff as their offices often work together on matters for their state.
Asked if McConnell is expected to be back at that time, Comer said, “I expect that. I sure hope so.”
“I have not talked to Leader McConnell. I’ve talked to his staff, many of whom are from my district originally. And they have all said it’s their goal for Senator McConnell to be here when the Senate comes in,” Comer said.

When asked for comment, McConnell was quoted as saying, "how do I feel? Ha! I've never felt better. This new surge of youthful energy... It comes at a great cost, but one I have already paid. I will not elaborate."

Wait wait wait... there is still no official announcement that he's dead? Can't The People just barge in wherever he's supposed to be and take photos or something?
This is insane.
