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.
Cortez Masto, Rosen, Cantwell, and Kelly have not reported results of a coronavirus test as of the time of this publishing.
Cortez Masto’s spokeswoman Lauren Wodarski told Breitbart News, “Over the weekend, Senator Cortez Masto attended Senator Manchin’s bipartisan get-together, which was also attended by Senator Graham. She is fully vaccinated and is following all CDC and Office of Attending Physician guidelines for coming into contact with a COVID-positive individual.”
Rosen, Cantwell, and Kelly did not respond to Breitbart News’s request for comment.
