House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell declined president Trump’s offer to provide rapid coronavirus tests for members of Congress.

Congress is grateful for the administration’s generous offer to deploy rapid covid-19 testing capabilities to Capitol Hill. Congress wants to keep directing resources to the front-line facilities where they can do the most good the most quickly.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar tweeted late Friday that 1,000 tests and three rapid-results machines were available. The president tweeted today that there was’tremendous coronavirus testing capacity in Washington for senators’ who are due to report back to D.C. on Monday.

There is tremendous coronavirus testing capacity in Washington for the senators returning to capital hill on Monday. The house, which should return, should return but is n’t because of crazy Nancy P.
