Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a Republican, said Friday that he has tested positive for COVID-19. Lee said in a statement on Twitter that he'd tested positive on Thursday and would be working from his home while isolating for 10 days.
Lee's statement came as news of President Donald Trump's and first lady Melania Trump's positive tests shook U.S. stocks and upended the presidential campaign, with Trump scrapping a planned Florida rally.

It seems to favor Republicans.
They’re going to use this to try to delay the ACB hearings.
he was last in the White House Saturday and met with ACB Tuesday
Here’s a rundown of who in Trump’s inner circle has tested negative, now that AG Barr has tested negative, rounding out the list of top Trump cabinet officials. To recap, the list of officials who have tested negative includes:
Pompeo
Mike Pence & Karen Pence
Mnuchin
Barr
Meadows
Jared & Ivanka
Dan Scavino
Amy Barrett
Barron Trump
Chad Wolf
Gen. Mark Milley
Alex Azar
John Ratcliffe
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani is in the process of getting tested, and we’re still waiting on Biden’s test results.
Pelosi doesnt wear a mask. Why hasnt she had covid. Fauci I wears no mask at baseball game. He hasnt had covid. Neither have the Clintons or Obamas. What Democrat politicians have had it? Maybe one in Michigan? There does seem to be a lot more republicans getting it.
Trump was in incubation period at the debate so Biden should get it too. The incubation period is several days to two weeks. The debate was Tuesday so Trump had been in incubation period then. Biden was therefore exposed.
If Biden doesnt test positive in the next day or two-it would seem very strange.
Markets going to rock and roll .....they react so easily!
Nothing says there HAVE TO BE hearings just VOTE!!!
Since the senate did not adopt “vote from home” or “vote by proxy” rules, it is simply important that, when votes are cast, the members have the ability to come on the floor to do so.
As the hearing isn’t until October 12, Lee should be fine for a floor vote much later; the key is to not get a bunch of republicans so sick they can’t make the vote, or if you do, to also make sure enough democrats are sick to even it out.
The way the senate USED to work, if an “important” vote was happening, and a senator was too sick to vote, a member of the other party would offer to abstain from the vote. But the democrats have destroyed the comity of the senate, so I would never expect that to happen now.
I was just going to say....it’s all R’s!!!!
Yeah something is VERY ROTTEN in Denmark I put NOTHING past these bastards!!
“Pelosi doesnt wear a mask. Why hasnt she had covid. Fauci I wears no mask at baseball game. He hasnt had covid. Neither have the Clintons or Obamas.”
It may be they’ve had it but haven’t announced it.
I keep in mind that it’s a Chinese virus and China wants to damage DJT. And they are.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
yes it seems that way. I wonder if Democrats are taking something from preventing in getting it.
Dont let your mind go there...I have to grapple with mine.
Theyre going to use this to try to delay the ACB hearings.
All it would take would be four or five senators, Republican or Democrat to claim they have Covid, and the hearings are postponed until after Trump is re-elected.
No surrogate could have gone in his place?
