News broke this weekend that Mike Pence's Chief of Staff, Marc Short, had tested positive for COVID-19.

Trump has COVID-19: More than two dozen administration officials, associates and others have tested positive

The plans drew harsh criticism from Democrats but Republicans mostly shrugged off Pence coming to Capitol Hill, explaining they were sure the vice president would do so responsibly. "It sets a terrible, terrible example for the American people," Schumer said on the Senate floor Sunday."And nothing could be a more apt metaphor for what is going on here. The Republican Party is willing to ignore the pandemic to rush this Supreme Court nomination forward. And the Vice President, after potentially being exposed to COVID, will preside."

"It's blowing up all over the country and these guys still act like, 'Well, what the hell, it's only 1% of the people who are going to die or something,'" Tester said."It's just insane, just totally irresponsible."Some Republicans, however, said Pence was still welcome to the Capitol on Monday and shrugged off concerns."Mike's responsibility is to be here to preside over the Senate.
