Sens. Joe Manchin and Lisa Murkowski have tested positive for COVID-19 : Manchin said he was experiencing mild symptoms, while Murkowski said she was ...
npr.org/2022/07/25/1113439052/joe-manchin-lisa-murkowski-positive-covid-19
Quick Glance: Sen. Manchin has been isolated after testing positive for coronavirus.
- Joe Manchin, 74, has disclosed that he has tested positive for the coronavirus and is undergoing treatment for mild COVID-19 symptoms.
- Manchin's illness, combined with Patrick Leahy's (D-Vt.) recent absence from voting due to two hip operations, highlights the frailty of Democrats' Senate dominance.
- During this campaign season, Democrats expect to push many legislative initiatives through the 50-50 chamber, including votes next week on a top-tier proposal limiting pharmaceutical pricing and extending federal subsidies for health insurance.
- Democrats have gained control of the chamber thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote. Lawmakers are set to hold a final vote on a bipartisan bill to enhance semiconductor output.

State Department adviser: Conditions are different from when Obama called gas tax holiday a ‘gimmick’
thehill.com/homenews/administration/3532525-state-department-adviser-conditions-are-different-from-when-obama-called-gas-tax-holiday-a-gimmick/
Quick Glance: Before the 2008 election, Obama boasted about opposing a federal gas tax holiday; today, Biden wants one.
- During his 2008 campaign, former President Barack Obama termed rejecting a federal gas tax holiday "one of our prouder moments," but his two-term Vice President, Joe Biden, believes such a holiday is desperately required now that he is in charge of the White House.
- "Then we got some help from an unexpected quarter," Obama wrote.
- McCain of Arizona offered a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax, similar to what Biden is doing now, and "Hillary immediately endorsed the idea," Obama wrote.
- Obama stated that, "somewhat to my surprise," his top campaign advisers agreed with him.
