Sen. John Thune returned to South Dakota after falling ill Wednesday, according to an announcement from his spokesman.

The decision comes as Congress debates a stimulus package worth $2 trillion that would assist businesses and unemployed workers amid the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Thune, 59, is South Dakota's senior senator and the second-ranking Republican in the Senate.

According to spokesman Ryan Wrasse, Thune woke up Wednesday morning not feeling well. He consulted with both a physician in Washington and a physician in Sioux Falls.

11. This is horrible news...

We may be on our way to losing a functioning government if he has it and exposed others.

The health of every senator and representative is the concern of the American people. Every one of them should be tested.

They also need the ability to vote on bills remotely as well.
