PALM HARBOR, Fla. — U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis has tested positive for coronavirus, his office announced today.
The Palm Harbor Republican, who has been working toward coronavirus relief efforts in the state, now finds himself in quarantine instead of on the House floor.
Bilirakis has managed to avoid the day's dangerous events in Washington, where pro-Trump protestors stormed the Capitol building.
He has, however, denounced the events on Twitter.
