Political commentator Scott Jennings says that Senator Mitch McConnell is preparing to return to work, having met with staff and received briefings on various issues, despite recent health concerns.

McConnell was hospitalized on June 14, and emergency dispatch audio later surfaced indicating a call for an unconscious person at his address, with a dispatcher describing it as a cardiac arrest and CPR in progress.
