Senators agreed to adjourn the Senate for two weeks after three lawmakers contracted the coronavirus, but the plan will not stop the confirmation hearing of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, which is scheduled for Oct. 12.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate would next convene for business on Oct. 19, enough time for Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, to recover from the coronavirus.
