Sen. Lindsey Graham may have exposed multiple Senators to COVID-19 on Joe Manchin's DC houseboat

"Senator Manchin is fully vaccinated and following the CDC guidelines for those exposed to a COVID+ individual," the spokesperson said. 

Sen. Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat, and Sen. Jacky Rosen, a Nevada Democrat, also attended the gathering and came into contact with Graham, spokespeople for the lawmakers told CNN and other outlets. Both senators, who are also fully vaccinated, are following CDC guidelines and the advice of congressional health officials, their spokespeople said.  

It's unclear who else attended the gathering on Manchin's houseboat, which is where the veteran lawmaker lives while he's in DC. A spokesperson for Manchin didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. 

Graham announced via tweet that he tested positive on Monday morning after coming down with "flu-like symptoms" on Saturday. Graham received the Pfizer vaccine last December and expressed relief at having been immunized prior to his infection. 

"I feel like I have a sinus infection and at present time I have mild symptoms," he wrote. "I will be quarantining for ten days. I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now. My symptoms would be far worse."
