WASHINGTON – With COVID-19 hitting more than 10% of the Texas Democrats who fled Austin to stymie a GOP elections bill, the runaways spent Monday strategizing ways to prod Congress for new voting rights protections without being able to lobby in person.
A sixth member of the Texas House tested positive on Monday, according to state Rep. Rhetta Bowers of Dallas, adding that she and others have brought food to those quarantining in their rooms.
“It definitely is not stopping our work,” she said. “We’re just having to be a whole lot more careful.”
At the White House a few blocks from their hotel hideaway, press secretary Jen Psaki shrugged aside concerns that Vice President Kamala Harris could have caught the coronavirus from the Texans, or may now be putting President Joe Biden at risk. Harris spent an hour with them last Tuesday, three days before one lawmaker developed cold-like symptoms and then tested positive.
“There haven’t been additional precautions taken,” Psaki said after noting that Harris has since tested negative, and insisting that her visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Sunday was routine and previously scheduled.
But with six of the 55 fugitives testing positive since Friday, the Texans’ hopes of meeting with Biden this week dimmed substantially.

Where is Heels up Harris?
I hear they almost killed AOC as well. She was in a building down the street. . . .
Gov Abbott should call a special session and if they don’t show proclaim their seats vacated.
“But with six of the 55 fugitives testing positive since Friday, the Texans’ hopes of meeting with Biden this week dimmed substantially.”
Ya think?
And are they really positive or just faking so they don’t have to vote.
“developed cold-like symptoms”
That about all many healthy people come down with. For those of us that have other health issues, like maybe a lot of those chunky folks on the plane, a much worse illness might result.
I would not put it past them.
I’m pretty sure the virus’s incubation period is longer than a few days.
so... texas d’s do DC?
rotflmao
Where is Heels up Harris?
Screaming at everyone in Walter Reed
“...after noting that Harris has since tested negative...”
Depends on what disease she was tested for...
the old movie: “Debbie does Dallas”
Now, it’s “Dummies do DC”.
Weeks ago I said if covid is so dangerous why hasn’t congress been decimated , most are older than dirt . The Texas Flee Demons may have solved it
Can’t be true - no news of this on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN …
Didn’t Elon Musk get tested 4 times in one day with the same machine and got 2 positive and 2 negative
Were these people all vaccinated?
Its a 2 for one. They love to get stories for weeks on the news rotation to set the sheeplike hypochondriacs abuzz with fears of a cold and more reason for thew big clampdown on our freedoms. BS tests for practically nothing. I’m so sick of it all. That goes for way too many on this once conservative and sane site.
