Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell receives COVID-19 vaccine
Mitch McConnell issued the following statement: "Since last spring, following health guidelines, I have advocated mask wearing, social distancing, and other best practices. Because of the health professionals at the FDA, Operation Warp Speed, and provisions of the CARES Act that I was proud to get signed into law, we now have a vaccine that is ready for use. But I am disappointed to see the early public sentiment that shows some hesitation towards receiving a vaccine."
