Pences test negative for COVID-19

Vice President Mike Pence and his wife are testing negative for the coronavirus.

They took tests this morning after President Trump and the First Lady tested positive last night. Pence is last known to have been with the President on Tuesday when they met in the Oval Office before the debate. The two also attended a coronavirus task force briefing together on Monday. If the President becomes incapacitated, Pence would step in until he could return.

Mike and Karen Pence are wishing President Trump and the First Lady well in a Tweet this morning.

President Trump’s adviser Hope Hicks tested negative Wednesday morning, but started experiencing symptoms later that day. She was isolated on a return flight on Air Force One and tested again Thursday. This time it came back positive.
