Senator Mitch McConnell had to be told how to vote on the “Farm Bill 2.0” on Wednesday.

On Monday, McConnell announced that he would return to the Senate to cast a vote after a three-month absence.

McConnell was hospitalized on June 14 after he was found unconscious at his DC home.

The 84-year-old Kentucky Senator said he was hospitalized after he took a fall.

Until Monday, the public had only seen two ‘proof of life’ photos of McConnell in the last three months.

In a statement on Monday, McConnell said he is “not quite back to 100%.”

“Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues,” McConnell said.

“My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier. I’m still not quite back to 100%, but I’ve assured Leader Thune that, as I continue with physical therapy on the advice of my doctors, I will do my best to be present for tough votes when our Conference needs me,” McConnell said.

McConnell was wheeled into the Senate on Wednesday to vote on a sprawling farm bill.

The Senate Agriculture Committee voted along party lines 12-11 to pass the bill.

Mitch McConnell had to be prompted to vote “aye” to advance the bill out of committee.
