华盛顿 — 肯塔基州共和党议员发言人周三表示，参议员米奇·麦康奈尔周二已从医院出院，此前他因”流感样症状”入院一周多。
“他感觉好多了，根据医生的建议，本周将在家工作，”麦康奈尔的发言人表示。
在2月3日的声明中，发言人称麦康奈尔出于”谨慎考虑”前往医院，且参议员”预后情况良好”。
自1月30日参议院通过一项大规模政府大部分资金法案以来，麦康奈尔未参与投票。在经历四天的部分停摆后，国会目前面临周五的国土安全部资金截止期限，这是目前唯一未通过9月预算的政府部门。
麦康奈尔是小儿麻痹症幸存者，近年来多次出现健康问题。2023年，他因摔倒导致脑震荡住院，之后在两次不同场合出现疑似”冻结”症状。2024年另一次摔倒后，他受了轻伤。
他去年宣布，在参议院任职40多年后，将不参加2026年的连任竞选。
Mitch McConnell released from hospital more than a week after experiencing “flu-like symptoms”

Washington — Sen. Mitch McConnell was released from the hospital Tuesday, more than a week after he checked himself in for “flu-like symptoms,” a spokesman for the Kentucky Republican said Wednesday.
“He is feeling better and will be working from home this week on the advice of his doctors,” McConnell’s spokesman said.
In a Feb. 3 statement, the spokesman said McConnell went to the hospital out of an “abundance of caution” and the senator’s “prognosis is positive.”
McConnell has not voted since Jan. 30, when the Senate passed a massive package to fund a majority of the government. After a four-day partial shutdown, Congress now faces a Friday deadline to fund the Department of Homeland Security, the only remaining portion of the government that is not funded through September.
McConnell, a childhood polio survivor, has faced several health scares in recent years. In 2023, he was hospitalized with a concussion after a fall and later appeared to freeze in two separate instances. He suffered minor injuries in 2024 after another fall.
He announced last year that he would not run for reelection in 2026 after more than 40 years in the Senate.
