While Harris was scheduled on Tuesday to receive the president’s daily briefing with Biden in person, the White House says she did not attend any meetings that day. The VP’s press secretary, Kirsten Allen, added that, over the past few days, Biden had not been considered a “close contact” of the vice-president, who has been in California.
Harris is not the only Democrat in Washington stuck at home with the virus right now: On Tuesday, Senators Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Ron Wyden of Oregon tested positive, which could impact Senate-confirmation plans later this week.
