0:47Now Playing"I just went out for a test." President Donald Trump told Fox News about starting self-quarantine hours before getting his positive #coronavirus test results. This comes as Hope Hicks, one of his closest aides, also tested positive.
Trump’s diagnosis of coronavirus roiled Washington Friday, throwing even more chaos into an already frenetic election year with a month to go until the vote.
The president is experiencing mild symptoms, and is working from the White House residence, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told reporters Friday, adding that Trump “will remain on the job.”
Yet Vice President Mike Pence, who tested negative for Covid, handled a call on the virus Friday that the president had been slated to lead. The Trump campaign said all of the president’s scheduled campaign events are being postponed or made virtual; Pence will maintain his schedule.
News of Trump’s infection touched every corner of the capital, raising questions about whether his Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing could be disrupted, whether the White House and Democrats can cut a deal on stimulus and even whether a second presidential debate will still take place on Oct 15.
