President Trump is 'feeling mild symptoms' after testing positive for COVID-19, White House officials say
The Senate Judiciary Committee has no plans to push back the confirmation hearings for President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett despite Trump's positive COVID-19 test, according to committee spokesperson Kevin Bishop, who said they were moving"full steam ahead.
" Judge Barrett tested negative for COVID-19, according to White House spokesperson Judd Deere. She is tested daily and was last with Trump on Saturday, he said.Barron Trump, the 14-year-old son of President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump,“Barron has tested negative and all precautions are being taken to ensure he’s kept safe and healthy.” spokesperson Stephanie Grisham told USA TODAY.White House officials said Trump is"feeling mild symptoms," but would not elaborate more Friday after Trump tested positive for COVID-19.Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, who moderated the first presidential debate Tuesday, said he plans to get a coronavirus test after President Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump tested positive for the virus.Wallace noted in an interview on FOX news this morning that the Trump family and supporters in the debate took off their masks in violation of the debate protocol. The rule was that"everybody except for the President, the Vice President and I, were supposed to wear masks. We were the only ones told that we were not to wear masks. And actually a safety personnel person from the Cleveland Clinic came up to the first family when they were seated and offered them masks in case they didn't have them and they were waved away. And people in the hall noticed that they weren't wearing masks and everybody else in the hall was wearing a mask. When the debate ended, Mrs. Trump came over, walked past me, she was not wearing a mask. Mrs. Biden walked past me to her husband and she was wearing a mask. So there was a difference in the way the two families and their camps treated the health safety regulations inside the hall."The White House said President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner, both advisors to the president, tested negative for the coronavirus Friday.Carolina Hurley, special assistant to the president.- Sean RossmanHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is praying for President Donald Trump and his family after the president and first lady Melania Trump announced they tested positive for COVID-19. “I know that he’ll have the best of care and that’s what we want for everyone in our country," Pelosi said on MSNBC Friday morning. She said it highlighted the urgent need for Congress to provide more resources for COVID-19 testing, contact tracing and other measures to respond to the outbreak. “We must have testing, tracing, treatment. We must have spatial distance and we must be wearing our masks,” she said. She said she hopes this marks a turning point and a “learning experience” in the country to take the virus seriously if even the president, with all the precautions, can become infected. She said she’d been tested Friday morning “out of an abundance of caution” because she met with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Monday. She noted that Mnuchin tested negative on Friday morning. She said she has some concerns about the test and the tests being used at the White House “are not as accurate as they should be.”Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris of California, and her husband Doug Emhoff also offered the president and first lady wishes for a speedy recovery. "Doug and I join Joe Biden and Dr. Biden in wishing President Trump and the First Lady a full and speedy recovery," Harris said in a tweet."We’re keeping them and the entire Trump family in our thoughts."Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he and his wife Jill Biden will"continue to pray" for President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump after the tested positive for COVID-19. "Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family," the former vice president
