for use of military force for the Iraq and Persian Gulf wars. McConnell had been steadfastly opposed to the bill.
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer welcomed McConnell back, along with Sen. John Fetterman , who also returned to the Capitol after a lengthy absence. Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Feb. 15 to receive treatment for clinical depression and remained hospitalized for weeks.

Durbin said he had spoken with Fetterman by Zoom several weeks ago and was “heartened” by his message and demeanor. “He had the courage to step up and ask for help when he faced depression, to seek professional medical advice, and I could tell by his responses and the tone of his voice that that decision had already made the difference in his life for the better,” Durbin said.
