WASHINGTON (AP) — Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the longest-serving Republican senator and third in the line of presidential succession, said Tuesday that he has tested positive for the coronavirus.
Grassley announced earlier Tuesday that he was quarantining after being exposed to the virus and was waiting for the results of a test. On Tuesday evening, he tweeted that he had tested positive.

He is certainly in the vulnerable category. Hopefully, he makes it through with flying colors.
Prayers up for Chuck
I didn’t know he was that old. He’s doing well for that age. Prayers up for him to get through this.
Bull crap!!
Squishy at best. This gets him a free pass not to do any heavy lifting for my president. Prove me wrong!!!
Agree.
sarcasm I hope..
I hate Grassley

Wow, it seems some on our side are as demented as the Dims. Here's a clue: the Senate has no role in this election mess.

No...prove me wrong.
There ought to be an age where you cannot serve in politics anymore.
I say 70-75 and you are done.
Of course I'm all for TERM LIMITS...we TL the POTUS...we should TL both Houses.
Would stop a lot of BS...
He was thinking about running again in 2022. Been in office since 1959. Time to start thinking about retirement.

Have some dignity Grassley and retire.
Well if he's going to quarantine now is a good time with covid restrictions ramping up again. Hopefully it's just a positive test and he'll escape it.
Everyone tests positive. If you don’t see a doctor and don’t have symptoms, you aren’t a “case”.
The tests are a joke.

Any, and every republican has a responsibility to use their substantial influence to save the republic...meaning influence peddle to keep PDJT as president...he is freed from that burden now. Wake up and realize the precipice on which we stand.
Grassley countered Commie Iowa Senator Tom Harken’s Senate votes for many years.
You and me both agree on that note.....term limits should have been put in place decades ago but Congress will NEVER pass such a thing....or retirement.
so you wish him dead? Prove ME wrong.
Wake up and realize the precipice on which we stand.
I'm fully aware of the precipice on which we stand. What exactly do you expect Grassley to do?
In general, 10% fatal at his age. But there are also COVID cases in their 80's with no symptoms. If he's generally healthy he should get through it with a week or two of treatment worst case.
