Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has been released from the hospital Tuesday night after being taken "out of an abundance of caution" earlier in the day. The 80-year-old was taken to a local hospital after he told staffers at the Capitol he was feeling sick, a spokesperson said Tuesday evening.

Leahy is currently the most senior Senate Democrat -- the "president pro tempore" -- and as such is presiding over Donald Trump's impeachment trial.

"The Capitol Physician suggested that Senator Leahy go to George Washington University Hospital this evening for observation, out of an abundance of caution," David Carle, spokesman for Leahy, said in a statement. "After getting test results back, and after a thorough examination, Senator Leahy now is home. He looks forward to getting back to work."

There was no mention of his symptoms, or whether he was tested for COVID-19.

Leahy has served in the Senate since 1975.

Biden, in afternoon remarks from the White House, announced that his administration has secured commitments from coronavirus vaccine makers to buy another 200 million doses to arrive this summer, raising the total to 600 million and ensuring the U.S. will eventually have two shots of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for nearly every American.

Biden also told the nation to expect a modest uptick in production in the near term -- from 8.6 million doses a week to a minimum of 10 million a week -- for the next three weeks.

"This is going to allow millions of more Americans to get vaccinated sooner than previously anticipated. We've got a long way to go, though," Biden said.

The announcement does not resolve the major shortages the nation is experiencing now, and does not suggest the Biden administration has found a novel way to ramp up production quickly.

One Biden administration official, who briefed reporters earlier on condition of anonymity, did not provide a firm timetable on the 200 million extra doses, pointing to the summer, but hailed the move as a guarantee that every American who wants a shot can get one.

Biden said it was enough to vaccinate 300 million Americans "by end of the summer, beginning of the fall."

The state of Texas has won a nationwide temporary restraining order against one of Biden's first executive actions as president -- a 100-day pause of immigrant deportations.

A federal district court judge says status quo enforcement operations can continue for at least the next 14 days while both sides present their case, after which an extended injunction against the policy could be issued or the restraining order lifted.

Biden's DHS released a "Day One" memorandum on Jan. 20 establishing a moratorium on enforcement actions against most immigrants.

The Texas lawsuit signals the beginning of an expected wave of court challenges by Republicans targeting Biden policies after years of watching Democrats use the courts to hobble Trump's moves.
