We talked for just shy of 20 minutes \u2026 about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jennings added: \u201cI told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The statement comes almost a month after McConnell, 84, was hospitalized following what emergency responders found him at his Washington D.C residence after an apparent cardiac arrest on June 14.<\/p>\n<p>Jennings\u2019 comments were made after a number of MAGA figures demanded that McConnell\u2019s aides provide proof that he is still alive.<\/p>\n<p>But his office has released only limited updates, saying he is receiving \u201cexcellent care,\u201d is improving, and has remained engaged with Senate business during his recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course it is the great RINO Republican establishment hack and paid McConnell consultant that comes out with \u201cproof of life.\u201d So pathetic you can\u2019t even make it up,&#8221; said former Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene.<\/p>\n<p>Despite repeated questions from the Daily Beast, McConnell\u2019s team has also refused to provide new information about his treatment, his condition, or whether he will ever be able to return to work.<\/p>\n<p>His hospitalization even prompted unverified claims circulated by far-right activist Laura Loomer that he was \u201cbrain dead\u201d and would not return to Congress. <\/p>\n<p>The mystery merely intensified after it emerged that his wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, traveled to Beijing and met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng in the lead up to his hospitalization.
