South Dakota U.S. Senator John Thune is at his home in Sioux Falls. A spokesman says the senator woke up Wednesday morning not feeling well. Thune is the number two ranking Republican in the Senate and missed yesterday’s vote on a $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package.
Thune took a charter flight from Washington to Sioux Falls. He and one member of his Capitol Police security detail were the only passengers. Thune wore a mask for the duration of the flight. He’s consulting with his doctor.
