Former Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) told Tulsa World that his decision to retire was due to the long-term effects of Covid-19, adding that certain symptoms were still affecting him day-to-day.
Said Inhofe: “Five or six others have long Covid, but I’m the only one who admits it.”
The HuffPost notes Inhofe voted against multiple coronavirus aid packages meant to help Americans at the height of the pandemic.
