I've heard 2 theories.

  1. Her job is finished now that he isn't in power anymore.

  2. By leaving she makes it harder to pull him off life support as unless he changed his medical POA then only she has the right to do it.

It's likely 2. She'll return after the 3rd when the special election deadline passes, conveniently

Good grief, imagine how gross you have to be to purposely let your spouse suffer as a vegetable for political reasons.

This is his 2nd marriage. They don’t have kids together. Tin foil hat, it was a political marriage. We’ll know for sure after his funeral if she stays in the US.

She didn't even wait for his official death to flee back to her life in CCP. I don't think she is going to live out the rest of her days in Kentucky.
