WASHINGTON—Prospects for Congress establishing some form of emergency remote-voting process were boosted March 22 when President Donald Trump endorsed the idea and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) began self-quarantining after testing positive for the CCP virus.

“I would certainly be in favor of it, where they could remote-vote from some outside location,” Trump told the nation during his CCP virus daily news conference at the White House.
