Biden’s vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris said she and her husband are keeping the Trumps in their thoughts.
“Doug and I join Joe Biden and Dr. Biden in wishing President Trump and the First Lady a full and speedy recovery,” she said. “We’re keeping them and the entire Trump family in our thoughts.”
In a statement posted to social media and sent to media outlets, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said that he and wife were praying for President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump after they both tested positive for coronavirus early this morning.
The statement reads:
"Fran and I join our fellow Ohioans in praying for President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump after they announced early today that they have both tested positive for COVID-19.
“Along with millions of others, we extend our prayers and best wishes to the President and First Lady during this time for a speedy recovery and for their good health.”
The news of the positive results came hours after a top presidential aide also tested positive for the coronavirus, leading the president and first lady to be quarantined and tested. The news was met with many different reactions across the globe.
Sen. Rob Portman also extended positive thoughts for the president and first lady.
“Jane & I send our best wishes to President and Melania Trump for a speedy recovery,” he said. “I’m glad they immediately began to quarantine and I hope everyone will support their recovery by continuing to do their part to slow the spread by wearing a mask and practicing social distancing.”
