Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced he tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday as the Senate looks to complete an array of priorities before breaking for August recess.
“This morning I tested positive for COVID-19.
I am fully vaccinated and boosted and am experiencing mild symptoms,” he tweeted.
“I will isolate and follow CDC guidelines as I continue to work remotely to serve West Virginians.”.
