The Delta variant surges. Cases spike, even among vaccinated persons. People are getting sick.
The House of Representatives was out of session in late July. But the Senate met into early August, working on the bipartisan infrastructure bill and a budget framework for a massive social spending plan. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., tested positive on August 2. Graham became the first senator to test positive for COVID-19 since Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., on November 20, 2020. But then came August 19. The Senate had wrapped up its business for a truncated August recess on August 12. But on August 19, Sens. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., Angus King, I-Maine, and John Hickenlooper, R-Colo., tested positive the same day. All were vaccinated.More Related News
