BREAKING: Joe Biden tests negative for COVID-19
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he has tested negative for COVID-19 days after debating President Donald Trump, who announced early Friday that he had tested positive for the coronavirus.
In a tweet, the former vice president urged Americans to follow COVID-19 prevention guidelines, which he — unlike Trump — has been seen implementing at campaign events. Trump said Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive, hours after top Trump aide Hope Hicks was diagnosed with the virus. Hicks had been part of the team traveling with the president for the debate and was seen stepping off Air Force One afterward without a mask. Members of Trump’s family flouted mask-wearing guidelines during the event.
Biden’s campaign has focused on Trump’s failure to protect Americans from the pandemic. The president has for months downplayed the severity of the virus — even as the U.S. death toll topped 200,000, the highest in the world. Trump has pressured states and schools to reopen, spread falsehoods about treatments, held packed campaign rallies and mocked others for wearing face masks.
