What does it look like when the Senate social distances? Photographer StephenVoss roamed the near-empty halls of the Capitol this week, capturing lawmaking in the Covid era
With the Senate back in session, but much of the country shut down due to the coronavirus, Capitol Hill doesn’t look like it used to. Photographer Stephen Voss walked the near-empty halls of the Capitol and its adjacent office buildings, capturing what POLITICO Congress reporter Andrew Desiderio said “feels like [will] be the new normal for at least a long time.”
“I would say over 90 percent of the people just walking around inside the buildings were wearing masks,” says Voss, the photographer. “There was some politicization to it, but it certainly did not split cleanly along party lines.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wore a Washington Nationals face mask.
Voss says that when he walked the tunnels between the two chambers of Congress this week, “the trains would pass me by, and 90 percent of the time they were completely empty. And if they weren’t empty, they would have one person on it at most.” He compared that to when Congress was in session before the pandemic: “There’s almost always people there waiting for the trains. It’s rare to see an empty train.
