The campaign is launching 'Operation MAGA,' which features virtual events ahead of the VP debate, and resumes in-person events with Pence, members of Trump family.
Samuel Skinner, former chief of staff to President George H.W. Bush, on proper protocols to be taken surrounding the health and safety of the president and his administration. The Trump campaign is keeping at “full speed” as President Trump fights the novel coronavirus, with a new “Operation MAGA” that includes events featuring Vice President Pence and members of the Trump family in key battleground states across the country, Fox News has learned.
The official told Fox News that early Saturday morning, Stepien, Clark and senior adviser Jason Miller held a call with campaign communications, operations and political teams to describe the launch of “Operation MAGA” and get the teams working on the new initiative and to “rally everybody for the last 30 days” of the campaign.
After the debate, “Operation MAGA” is set to shift back to in-person events, beginning with Pence’s travel to Arizona.“While he is on the road, the vice president will stop in Indiana so that he can vote early in his home state,” a campaign official said. “He will then continue on to other events in key states which we have yet to announce.”
A campaign official told Fox News that at these events the campaign plans to continue taking “every precaution for the health and safety of participants and attendees.” The official told Fox News that the campaign has taken “great care” to ensure that attendees of the events are “safe,” noting that at each campaign event there are temperature checks, and that staff hand out face masks and hand sanitizer.
A number of White House and campaign officials have also tested positive – including Stepien and senior White House adviser Hope Hicks. On Saturday former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was on Trump's prep team for Tuesday's presidential debate, announced that he had tested positive.
