U.S. Senator Doug Jones, the Alabama Democrat who stunningly won a seat in the conservative state three years ago, will miss the final votes of his short term because his wife has tested positive for COVID-19.

In a video posted to Twitter, Jones, who lost his re-election bid this fall to former football coach Tommy Tuberville, announced that he's quarantining and taking care of his wife, Louise.

"She's not feeling too good but is ok, as am I with a negative test," Jones tweeted with the video message.

Republican Tuberville will be sworn in to replace Jones with the new term that starts Sunday.

1. He needs to wear a bright orange shirt, I am negative by trump testing.

Then he needs to shake McConnell and the incoming Senator hands with a gesture of a sign off.

Then take care of his family...

Of course that should never happen, except take care of his family. But a statement of such should show how thousands of people get tested by these trump covid test and are actually positive instead of negative. How we as a nation need to separate for the good of the whole, not for ourselves....

Bless everyone of you my friends!
