President Donald Trump said that Katie Miller, Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary, tested positive for coronavirus.
Miller is married to Stephen Miller, one of Trump’s top advisers.
Earlier, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany confirmed on Friday that a member of Pence’s staff tested positive for coronavirus, but she did not identify who it was.
“There is a member of the vice president’s team who is positive for coroanvirus,” McEnany said. “We have put in place the guidelines that our experts have put forward to keep this building safe.”
Many more reporters were wearing face masks in the briefing room, a day after it was revealed that one of President Donald Trump’s personal valets tested positive for the virus. Trump and Pence took subsequent tests that came out negative, the White House said. On a call to Fox & Friends on Friday, Trump said that he was in the same room with the valet on Tuesday but does not recall any direct contact with the staffer, who is a member of the U.S. Navy.

Prayers for Katie hope she will be OK
Who’s next. The big one?
Sheesh...I am sure Stephen is in contact with Trump daily
Hey,Boris Johnson got it,and was damn sick for a while,so...
The driver, not the secretary?
You would think these people would have some rather stringent distancing protocols, considering their proximity to executive leadership.
Something seems off. I hope the Secret Service is treating this threat seriously.
She’s 25 years old. She’s skinny. So most likely mild symptoms.
I believe he is..have to check him first, if he is negative odds are no one else will be positive..or he can be a carrier and never get the virus but pass it on. I dont know what kind of precautions are being taken at the White House I think Trump said yesterday he gets tested everyday
Well, we do know that Pence doesn’t get alone or too close with female staff.
Boris Johnson is older. Plus he was not in best shape to begin with. I notice he lost weight after his bout with COVID-19.
Looks like it’s going thru the White House staff.
there are a lot of problems with these tests..but a new one just got approved that is suppose to be 100 percennt based on genetic code
Uh oh.
If anyone ought to be living under tight controls, its these people
WTH
Maybe time for masks? Do you want Pres Pelosi? because that is how you get...
Trump and Pence need to be careful. They will look like fools if they get it.
My guess is the president is tested frequently during the day every day.
I’m sure he has the treatments for the China Virus seconds away and they include HCQ.
According to what seems like the vast majority of folks on the discussion board, there is nothing to worry about, open up the economy and we should just get on with our lives.
I do tend to agree with you, they need to be careful as they are in a susceptible age backet and they don’t want to end up like Boris.
Hate to sound tin foil but this makes you wonder if someone on the inside is a carrier deliberately spreading.
