Growing number of top Republicans diagnosed with coronavirus

A growing number of top Republicans in President Trump’s orbit have tested positive for the coronavirus in recent days, leaving the White House, Senate and Trump campaign to grapple with a frightening health crisis a month out from the election. 

Trump is hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center with a mild cough, congestion and fatigue. First lady Melania Trump has also received a positive diagnosis, as has senior White House adviser Hope Hicks, who had been traveling with Trump to fundraisers, campaign events and the presidential debate. 

Kellyanne Conway, the former special assistant to the president, tested positive after recently attending a crowded Rose Garden event to unveil the president’s pick to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. 

On the political side, Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien was diagnosed with coronavirus on Saturday after traveling with the president to Tuesday’s debate. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel is sick with COVID-19. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who along with Hicks helped Trump prepare for the debate, is also sick.

Three Republican senators have also fallen ill with the coronavirus this week.

Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) have been diagnosed with the coronavirus. Both senators are on the Judiciary Committee, which plans to meet in nine days to begin hearings on Trump’s Supreme Court pick, Amy Coney Barrett. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) tested positive for coronavirus on Friday as well.

There are few details about the severity of their illnesses. Stepien is the youngest to be diagnosed, at 42 years old, while President Trump is the oldest, at 74. The president and Christie are overweight, putting them in a higher risk category.  (Continues)
