Sen. Joe Manchin tests positive for COVID-19

Washington — Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin said he tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, throwing a potential curveball in Democrats' legislative aspirations ahead of the August recess.

West Virginia's Manchin, 74, said he's experiencing "mild symptoms," and will work remotely as he follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.

"This morning I tested positive for COVID-19," Manchin tweeted Monday morning. "I am fully vaccinated and boosted and am experiencing mild symptoms. I will isolate and follow CDC guidelines as I continue to work remotely to serve West Virginians."
