House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Joe Biden's sister became the latest Washington figures to test positive for COVID-19, announcements that came after two cabinet officials and others tested positive the day before. Pelosi, who is asymptomatic, tested positive. She will quarantine, her spokesman announced. “The speaker is fully vaccinated and boosted, and is thankful for the robust protection the vaccine has provided,” said spokesman Drew Hammill. Pelosi attended crowded events at the White House Tuesday and Wednesday at which Biden spoke. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said they had tested positive, as did Vice President Kamala Harris' communications director Jamal Simmons. All three had attended the annual Gridiron Dinner Saturday night, which attracts a wide swath of government officials and journalists. Some lawmakers and reporters who were at the dinner have also tested positive. Pelosi was not at the dinner but her spokesman, Hammill, was.
