据其发言人透露，肯塔基州共和党参议员米奇·麦康奈尔已出院，并将根据医生建议本周居家办公。
发言人大卫·波普在一份声明中表示：”麦康奈尔参议员已于[周二]出院，他对所接受的出色医疗服务表示感谢。他感觉好转，将根据医生建议本周居家办公。”
本周他的缺席正值议员们面临周五为美国国土安全部（DHS）拨款的最后期限。参议院领导人正在讨论短期继续决议案，以避免部分政府停摆，同时谈判仍在继续。
83岁的麦康奈尔上周因出现流感样症状住院。他的办公室当时表示，他”出于谨慎考虑”已自行入住当地医院。

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has been discharged from the hospital and will work from home this week on the advice of his doctors, according to his spokesman.
“Senator McConnell was discharged from the hospital [Tuesday] and is grateful for the outstanding care he received. He is feeling better and will be working from home this week on the advice of his doctors,” spokesman David Popp said in a statement.
His absence this week comes as lawmakers face a Friday deadline to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Senate leaders are discussing a short-term continuing resolution to avoid a partial shutdown while negotiations continue.
McConnell, 83, was hospitalized last week after experiencing flu-like symptoms. His office said at the time that he had checked himself into a local hospital “in an abundance of caution” after feeling ill over the weekend.

“In an abundance of caution, after experiencing flu-like symptoms over the weekend, Senator McConnell checked himself into a local hospital for evaluation last night,” a spokesperson said Feb. 3. “His prognosis is positive, and he is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving. He is in regular contact with his staff and looks forward to returning to Senate business.”
McConnell has experienced several health scares in recent years, including falls at the Capitol.
Last October, McConnell stumbled and fell while walking down a hallway in the Capitol. He was helped up and continued walking.
