Rand Paul Urges Patience as Mitch McConnell Recovers

Rand Paul urged Kentuckians to give Mitch McConnell grace as he recovers. Paul said he expects McConnell may return to the Senate in September.

Center outlets focus on Paul's call for patience and McConnell's possible return, while adding different details: one reports Paul said McConnell's absence had not affected matters so far, and the other notes a proxy vote cast for him did not count under Senate rules.
