Independence Day recess ended Sunday with two explosive developments within the Senate GOP: the death of Budget Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who died Saturday night, and a much-awaited health update from former Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
The latter issued a statement Sunday evening confirming that, contrary to rumors online, he was very much alive: McConnell said he’d suffered a fall on June 14 — after a childhood bout of polio — and then suffered from pneumonia after that.
