The president's campaign manager, Bill Stepien, said previously scheduled events involving members of Trump's family 'are also being temporarily postponed.'
The Trump campaign said Friday that it will either postpone or hold virtually all events on its schedule involving President Donald Trump following his Covid-19 diagnosis.
A worker is seen at Orlando Sanford International Airport, the site of a Make American Great Again campaign rally that was cancelled after U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for COVID-19, on October 2, 2020 in Sanford, Florida.
But Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement Friday afternoon that "All previously announced campaign events involving the President's participation are in the process of being moved to virtual events or are being temporarily postponed." The campaign chief noted that Vice President Mike Pence, who tested negative for Covid-19 on Friday morning, will continue to campaign in accordance with his schedule.
The differences between Trump's campaign events and those held by his Democratic rival Joe Biden became a central point of focus following the president's diagnosis -- given that Trump has repeatedly mocked Biden for the safety precautions the former vice president takes at his campaign events.
