apnews.com/article/covid-health-united-states-west-virginia-5896a014867b0c9d5ae94de486cce007
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.

- 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.
