The Democratic senator from New Jersey said he first started feeling symptoms on Saturday.
“Fortunately, my symptoms are relatively mild," Booker said in a statement. "I’m beyond grateful to have received two doses of vaccine and, more recently, a booster -- I’m certain that without them I would be doing much worse. I encourage everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated and boosted.”
The news came just hours after Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said she had also tested positive for the virus in a breakthrough case and was experiencing mild symptoms.
