Fetterman diagnosed with COVID-19, experiencing mild symptoms

Published July 28, 2024 4:17pm ET



Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has tested positive for COVID-19, with the senator stating he is experiencing mild symptoms.

It is unclear if Fetterman’s diagnosis will cause him to miss the last week of Senate votes before the chamber’s August recess, however, the Pennsylvania Democrat said in a post that he will be “working from home,” and “following the appropriate CDC guidance.”

The Senate is expected to vote on the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act and the Kids Online Safety Act, though both bills are fairly bipartisan, so Fetterman’s possible absence is not likely to affect the outcome.
