Summary
Sen. Chris Murphy, 53, was still hospitalized Tuesday, three days after suffering a stroke, forcing the Connecticut Democrat off the campaign trail on Election Day.
Murphy's office said he is improving but gave no further details on his condition or recovery.
Saturday's stroke began with arm numbness while he was attending his son's hockey game; doctors at a nearby hospital then transferred him to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore for monitoring and treatment.
Murphy had already cast his ballot during early voting in Connecticut and, through his office, urged voters to participate in what he called a defining election.
