The president announced that Giuliani tested positive in a tweet on Sunday.
“Get better soon Rudy, we will continue !!!” he said.
Giuliani was at Georgetown University Medical Center, according to a person familiar with his condition.
Former New York City Mayor Giuliani is the public face of the dozens of legal challenges that the Trump campaign quickly unraveled in the election. His efforts to challenge the outcome have taken him across the country – Pennsylvania, Michigan, Washington DC – in recent weeks, and he’s hardly ever seen wearing a mask.
He has also been very close to several people who have had confirmed cases of the virus. Giuliani helped the president prepare for the first presidential debate, after which Trump announced that he had tested positive. At the end of November, the former mayor of New York also appeared unmasked at a press conference at the headquarters of the Republican Party in Washington along with his son Andrew, special assistant to the president, who announced the next day that he had tested positive.
It is the latest in a series of coronavirus outbreaks that have plagued the White House. The president, along with his chief of staff Mark Meadows, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, campaign advisor Corey Lewandowski and housing secretary Ben Carson have been affected by the virus.
And just as many have criticized the US response to the coronavirus for not implementing widespread testing (the president is skeptical of the tests because he says they “make us look bad”), the outbreak within the White House has featured responses of questionable public health so far.
