Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), a member of the Judiciary Committee up for reelection, tests POSITIVE for COVD-19.

He says he's asymptomatic and will self-isolate at home for 10 days.
Tillis was at the White House on Saturday, at the Senate Tuesday-Thursday voting, and then back in North Carolina yesterday for a debate with his Democratic opponent, Cal Cunningham. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article246160040.html https://twitter.com/seungminkim/status/1312187051589005314
Cunningham is waiting for the results of his COVID result after debating Tillis last night.

Tillis campaign manager Luke Blanchat says they notified Cunningham camp "immediately after" Tillis received positive COVID results."

Tillis staffers exposed to him this week to quarantine & get tested. Charlotte campaign HQ closed, & they're halting in-person campaigning.
