Joe Manchin, the Democratic senator from West Virginia, announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday morning. The 74-year-old senator is, according to his statement posted on Twitter, fully vaccinated and boosted. He is “experiencing mild symptoms” and plans to work remotely as he isolates. Manchin’s positive test comes as he is in the public eye for thwarting Democrats’ legislative plans yet again, with many blaming him for dooming efforts to address climate change. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska announced on Monday afternoon that she, too, has tested positive for the virus “after experiencing flu like symptoms.” Murkowski, 65, will quarantine in Alaska and work remotely.
