Spread

Many in Trump’s close circle have already confirmed the infection and it appears that the infection continues to spread. Earlier Monday, it emerged that Claudia Conway, the daughter of former counselor Kellyanne Conway, is infected.

Conway is among those likely to be infected during the event in Rosehagen, where President Donald Trump introduced his Supreme Court candidate, Amy Coney Barrett.

Bill Stepien, who is the president’s campaign manager, is also infected. The same is his personal assistant Nicholas Luna. Chris Christie, Trump’s adviser who helped him prepare for the debate against Joe Biden, has been hospitalized.

In addition, several reporters who worked in the White House were infected.

Vice President Mike Pence and Trump’s sons are among those who tested negative. He also has Joe Biden and his wife.
