Elaine Chao Snubs Missing McConnell in Lengthy Speech

Elaine Chao delivered a lengthy acceptance speech at a sold-out luncheon—and conveniently left out any mention of her ailing husband.

The former transportation secretary, 73, was all smiles in a striking purple outfit and perfectly coiffed hair as she received the Donald D. Engen Trophy for Aviation Excellence from the Aero Club of Washington on Wednesday. Her husband, 84-year-old Mitch McConnell, was noticeably absent from the ceremony.
