GOP worries about Sen. Cochran’s health
Republican lawmakers are reportedly growing concerned for Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R) health following a recent medical procedure, with some speculating that the Mississippi senator won’t return in time to oversee an Senate Appropriations Committee markup next week.
GOP lawmakers and sources close to Cochran told Politico that they’re unsure he will be able to return when the Senate comes back from its recess next week. Some also told the news outlet they’re unsure if he will be back by the end of the year.
Cochran’s office, however, has insisted that he will return to the Senate next week.
