Unfortunately, that means I won\u2019t be able to make it to Fancy Farm, Kentucky this Saturday.\n\n\u201cThere\u2019s no place I\u2019d rather be on the first Saturday in August than with the good people of western Kentucky, feasting on pork and mutton. When I first attended forty-two years ago, Fancy Farm was a pretty lonely place to be a Republican. But, my, how times have changed. Today, western Kentucky is a conservative Republican sea of red. So I hate that I\u2019ll miss the fun this year, but I\u2019m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic.\n\n\u201cAs always, I appreciate all of your continued well wishes, and I\u2019m looking forward to getting back to the Senate and to Kentucky soon.\u201d\n\nFrom the Office of the Attending Physician (OAP):\n\n\u201cSenator McConnell continues his recovery from a fall at home in June. OAP physicians visit with the Senator every day, discussing all aspects of his rehabilitation care. Since his discharge from hospital care, he has maintained a strenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation, including multiple sessions a day designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls. His bout with childhood polio continues to be a significant factor in his mobility. He is not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and return to the office.\u201d\n\nSenator Mitch McConnell and Secretary Elaine Chao on Sunday, July 26, 2026.", 1, "2026-07-28T07:37:32Z", "2026-07-28T07:38:50Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ID=DC6BF158-0E6A-4BAC-AF63-43E7DB393869"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4130519703030586, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
