Three fully vaccinated members of the group of Texas Democrats who fled the state have contracted the coronavirus, the Texas House Democratic Caucus announced Saturday.

One member tested positive Friday night, followed by two more Saturday morning, the Democrats announced in a statement. The three members were among the group that smiled without masks as they traveled to Washington, D.C., in an attempt to block a Texas voting bill that they argue would suppress votes.
