Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he hasn’t been to the White House in two months, citing a recent outbreak that infected President Donald Trump, the first lady, and other GOP officials with the CCP virus.

“I haven’t actually been to the White House since August the 6th,” he said in a news conference on Thursday in Kentucky. “My impression was that their approach to how to handle this is different from mine and what I suggested that we do in the Senate, which is to wear a mask and practice social distancing.” McConnell is often seen around the Capitol while wearing a mask.
