An effort by U.S. Senate Democrats to move forward on President Joe Biden’s nominees for the Federal Reserve and Federal Trade Commission appeared headed for a second week of delay on Monday, after another Democratic lawmaker tested positive for COVID-19.
Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado said on Twitter that he tested positive for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 on Sunday, adding that he would quarantine at home in Denver for the week.
“I’m experiencing minor, cold-like symptoms and plan to work virtually,” Bennet said.
