Several senators attended an event on Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) houseboat over the weekend, and one of the attendees, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), announced Monday he tested positive for coronavirus.
In addition to Manchin and Graham, senators who were present at the gathering included Sens. John Thune (R-SD), Chris Coons (D-DE), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), according to multiple reports.
A spokeswoman for Manchin’s office told Breitbart News, “Senator Manchin is fully vaccinated and following the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines for those exposed to a COVID positive individual.” Manchin, as well as Coons and Thune, have all reportedly tested negative since learning of Graham’s diagnosis.
