Josh Holmes, a top McConnell political adviser, told CNN that McConnell has been urging hospital staff to let him go, though he’s remained there for observation since Wednesday night after falling and hitting his head during a dinner at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. Doctors are treating him for a concussion. Holmes told CNN that McConnell is acting normally and is eager to get out.

The Kentucky Republican also got a briefing from his chief of staff, Sharon Soderstrom, about the Thursday conference lunch that he missed. At the lunch, Alaskan halibut was served courtesty of Sen. Lisa Murkowski. “I’m sorry I missed the halibut,” McConnell said. McConnell has been responding to colleagues but he has been forced to limit screen time because of concussion protocol.
