In a tweet Monday, the Texas Republican said he\u2019d been able to \u201cdodge\u201d the virus for more than two years.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">After dodging it for 2+ years I\u2019ve tested positive for COVID-19. I\u2019m fully vaccinated and boosted, and doing fine.

Senate Democrats this week hoped to pass their multi-billion dollar climate, tax and health care package which was announced by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. <span class=\"person-popover\" data-nid=\"18668\">Joe Manchin\u00a0<\/span>(D-W.Va.) on Wednesday. Republicans are expected to unanimously oppose the measure and the GOP has criticized the West Virginia Democrat for backing it.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer and Manchin are aiming to pass the package under reconciliation, an arcane budget rule that avoids the senate\u2019s 60-vote threshold required for most bills. Democrats are also closely watching moderate Sen.
