Sen. Chris Murphy Leaves Hospital, Misses Weeks of Votes

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy was discharged from Johns Hopkins Hospital after suffering a small hemorrhagic stroke, which he said caused a small bleed in the thalamus region of his brain. He will spend several weeks at a rehabilitation center and miss several weeks of Senate votes while recovering. His doctors said he has made strong progress and expect him to make a full recovery; Murphy said he will remain engaged with colleagues remotely as his staff continues his office’s work.
