Biden's campaign manager, Jen O'Malley Dillon, said Vice President Biden and Senator Harris have not been in contact with the two. Dillon stated the VP and Senator were not near the two who tested positive in the 48 hours prior to their positive test results. Out of an abundance of caution, Harris' planned trip to North Carolina on Thursday was scrapped. According to CNN, she will remain off the road until Monday.
