Harris arrives in L.A. as staffer, political leaders in D.C. test positive for coronavirus
The coronavirus is sweeping through official Washington, with staffers for President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris recently testing positive for the virus as a growing number of federal officials continue to disclose their own “breakthrough” cases.
Symone Sanders, Harris’ senior advisor and chief spokesperson, said in a statement Wednesday that the staffer, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, had tested negative on Tuesday, Monday and every day last week.“As [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidance does not require fully vaccinated people to quarantine after an exposure, the vice president will continue with her daily schedule,” Sanders said in her statement on Wednesday.
House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn , the No. 3 Democratic leader, was with Biden in South Carolina, where the president addressed the graduating class at South Carolina State University. More than a half-dozen other members of Congress have said they’ve tested positive for the coronavirus this week,Sen.
