Kamala Harris Cancels Texas Go to After Staffer Examined Constructive For COVID-19

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Wednesday that a visit to Texas was included in her travel plans for the next few days. She was supposed to be here this weekend, but those plans quickly changed when Harris’ communications director Liz Allen and an airline employee tested positive for COVID-19.

The Biden Campaign announced Thursday that Harris is suspending all of its campaign travel plans through Sunday. She will continue to participate in virtual events.

Former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Harris (D-Calif.) Both tested negative for COVID-19 on Thursday. Unlike President Donald Trump, the Biden campaign was transparent about tests and results.

According to the campaign, both people who tested positive were on a flight with Harris on October 8, but had no close contact with her during the flight.

Harris wore an N95 mask, as did both people.

The last time Biden flew with the aviation staff was on Tuesday. They were 50 feet apart, and Biden and his team wore N95 masks, according to the campaign.

Biden’s schedule is not interrupted.

Harris “will be returning to personal campaigns on Monday,” said Jen O’Malley Dillon, campaign manager at Biden, in a statement.

Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, also tested negative Thursday.
