On Saturday, September 26, Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett as a candidate to take over the vacant post of Supreme Court Justice after the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
More than 200 people attended the event. Among them were the director of the American University of Notre Dame, John I. Jenkins, Senators Mike Lee and Thom Tillis. In addition, the president’s former political adviser, Kellyanne Conway, was present at the ceremony.
All four have now tested positive for the coronavirus.
– Tonight I tested positive for covid-19. My symptoms are weak, with a mild cough and I feel in good shape. I have started the quarantine on the advice of doctors, writes Conway Twitter.
