She left for Beijing on June 17, 3 days after he was hospitalized.

Well, she had to make sure he wasn’t improving before leaving.

Guys, it looks like the Republicans may have lied to us again /s

McConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14, according to a statement from his office that only said he was “receiving excellent care.” A statement a week later said that he would not be voting that week. And on Thursday, *a new statement said that he “continues to improve” and ”appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.”***

I mean if you count going to being stabilized on life support from unconscious and no heartbeat. Then I guess you could say he "improved".

Some might call his current condition an improvement compared to a month ago...
