Second gentleman Doug Emhoff tested positive Tuesday for COVID-19, forcing Vice President Kamala Harris to miss an evening ceremony to recognize Equal Pay Day. Sabrina Singh, deputy press secretary to the vice president, said in a statement. Singh said Harris tested negative for COVID-19 on Tuesday and will continue to be tested. In his remarks at the Equal Pay Day event, Biden noted Harris' absence because of Emhoff's positive test. Biden initially referred to Emhoff as the "the first lady’s husband" before realizing that would mean him.
