The bombshell news of US President Donald Trump's coronavirus diagnosis has sent a chill down the spines of his campaign aides. According to Business Insider, they fear that his diagnosis could harm his reelection chances. Trump spent months downplaying the disease and ignoring CDC guidelines. GOP strategists worry voters will hold it against him. His campaign message that Democratic opponent Joe Biden was old and unable to lead will be undermined if Trump is unwell and Biden remains healthy. Trump was already behind in the polls and had been trying to move the conversation away from the US handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have contracted the coronavirus. The first couple are quarantining. His daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, both of whom are senior White House advisors, were screened for the coronavirus and tested negative. The president's youngest child, Barron, also tested negative. Senior aide to the president Hope Hicks tested positive. Hicks traveled with him on Air Force One this week. A slew of White House officials have been tested for the highly contagious disease after news emerged late Thursday.
