众议院监督委员会主席、来自肯塔基州的詹姆斯·科默周四表示，米奇·麦康奈尔参议员的团队告知他，这位因健康问题长期缺席华盛顿的参议员有望在9月14日参议院复会时返回岗位。
科默称，他并未直接与麦康奈尔本人通话，但他会定期与这位参议员的团队沟通，因为两办公室经常在本州事务上开展合作。
当被问及麦康奈尔是否预计会在彼时返岗时，科默表示：“我预计如此，也真心希望如此。”
科默说：“我尚未与麦康奈尔领袖本人交谈过，但我已多次与他的团队沟通，他们大多都是来自我选区的人。他们都表示，麦康奈尔参议员的目标是在参议院复会时回到岗位。”
麦康奈尔办公室发言人斯蒂芬妮·彭周三在接受CNN询问其返岗日期时表示，“目前暂无日程安排公告”。
麦康奈尔的发言人戴维·波普周四让CNN参考该办公室的最新声明。
这位现年84岁、已不寻求连任的前参议院多数党领袖于6月14日住院，但他的办公室当时并未透露住院原因。
7月，在外界对其健康状况数周的猜测后，麦康奈尔宣布自己是因摔倒住院。
随后，他转入康复中心继续恢复体力，并于8月初宣布出院，将在家中继续康复。
目前参议院正处于为期五周的夏季休会期，将于9月14日周一复会。

House Oversight Chair James Comer of Kentucky said Thursday that Sen. Mitch McConnell’s staff have told him they are hoping the senator – who has had an extended absence from Washington due to health issues – will return when the Senate comes back into session on September 14.
Although he said he has not spoken to McConnell directly, Comer said he communicates regularly with the senator’s staff as their offices often work together on matters for their state.
Asked if McConnell is expected to be back at that time, Comer said, “I expect that. I sure hope so.”
“I have not talked to Leader McConnell. I’ve talked to his staff, many of whom are from my district originally. And they have all said it’s their goal for Senator McConnell to be here when the Senate comes in,” Comer said.
Stephanie Penn, a spokesperson for McConnell’s office told CNN on Wednesday when asked if there is a date for his return that there are “no scheduling announcements at this time.”
McConnell spokesman David Popp on Thursday referred CNN to the office’s latest statement.
The former Senate majority leader, who is 84 and not running for reelection, was admitted to the hospital on June 14, but his office did not disclose the reason for the hospitalization at the time.
In July, after weeks of speculation over his health status, McConnell announced that a fall had landed him in the hospital.
The senator then moved to a rehabilitation center to continue regaining his strength and later announced he was discharged in early August and would continue to recover at home.
The Senate is currently in a five-week recess period for the summer and will return Monday, September 14.
