Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Thursday that he will return to the Capitol on Monday, five weeks after he was forced out of work when he suffered a concussion during a fall.

“I am looking forward to returning to the Senate on Monday. We’ve got important business to tackle and big fights to win for Kentuckians and the American people,” McConnell (R-Ky.) wrote in a tweet on Thursday. 

McConnell, 81, was hospitalized on March 8 and diagnosed with a concussion and a minor rib fracture after he tripped and fell during a private dinner at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Washington, DC. 

The Kentucky Republican was released from the hospital on March 13 and then continued treatment at an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where he stayed until March 25.

The Senate is set to convene at 3 p.m. Monday after a two-week break for Easter and vote on Radha Iyengar Plumb’s nomination to serve as a deputy undersecretary of Defense, according to the Hill.

McConnell, first elected to his seat in 1984, suffered from polio as a child and has previously acknowledged he’s faced some difficulties as an adult climbing stairs.

He’s been the minority leader in the Senate since 2021 when Democrats claimed a slight advantage. He broke the record for longest serving leader in the Senate at the start of this year.

His absence has overlapped with two other senators that have dealt with recent health challenges. 

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was released from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center late last month following a roughly six-week stay for depression treatment.

Like McConnell, Fetterman, 53, is also expected to be back on Capitol Hill on Monday.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) pledged on Wednesday to return to the Senate “as soon as possible” after two House Democrats called for her immediate resignation, arguing that she can “no longer fulfill her duties.” 

Feinstein, 89, has been out for over a month as she recovers from a shingles infection which led to her hospitalization on March 2. She is currently recovering at home in California and says her medical team has not yet cleared her for travel. 

The California Democrat said Wednesday that she has asked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to appoint another Democratic senator to temporarily serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee until she’s able to resume her committee work.
