Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has tested positive for coronavirus, hours before President Trump was set to touch down in the state

Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio announced late Thursday that he had tested negative for coronavirus, only hours after he had tested positive on the day President Donald Trump was set to touch down in the state and meet with him.

The statement revealed that DeWine, whose response to the pandemic had been widely praised, was asymptomatic but would return to Columbus, Ohio, where he would be tested again, and then quarantine at his home in Cedarville, Ohio, for the next two weeks. The announcement of the second, negative test came several hours later.

to have coronavirus before he was set to travel to his home state with the president on Air Force One. Gohmert’s case was also caught by the White House screening process, as the congressman said he was asymptomatic."Our great governor, governor of Ohio DeWine, just tested positive — just here — and we wanted to wish him the best. He'll be fine," Trump said. "I just said, 'I look forward to seeing the governor.' They said, 'Sir, he just tested positive.

The governor said in his news conference that he hoped critics of wearing face coverings wouldn't take the "wrong lesson" from his diagnosis, explaining that much of responding to the pandemic is "simply trying to improve your odds," noting that Ohioans shouldn't "read a whole lot into this."

What's going on.

The things republicans will go through to not be pictured with the Trump Virus.

But America’s testing is the envy of the world , or at least that’s what your president says.

Devine intervention or just plain happy accident?

The man who has done well for his State and country. We Stand with this Governor.

I absolutely 100% believe these tests are rigged when it comes to convenient political figures and issues, like kids suddenly testing positive (despite none previously) once we talk about opening schools. And people around Trump suddenly all test positive.... I am not buying it.

False positive. Oops! How many OTHER false positives do we have?

Was he also tested for stupidity?

So what’s the matter? It is what it is! So let him get in touch with realDonaldTrump - what is there to lose? 🤷🏿‍♂️

Good excuse DeWine.

Someone does not want DeWine talking to Trump

Gov. Mike - please go ahead to meet Trump and shake his hands without wearing mask. Trump will be very upset if you don't meet him during his trip.

Fake report to avoid having to be seen with tRump

Um...

MY, MY, HOW THE ROSTER COME HOME TO ROST!

Enjoy your hoax bug Senator !!!! May it make you wise ... and maybe whisper wisdom to the president’s hears .... I mean if .. he can understand what lives beyond his own wealth’s bubble ! In any case ... speedy recovery

This is late. He already took a second test that came back negative. If he gets tested two more times with negative results, does that first positive one count towards the COVID count?

It would really own the libs if he met with him any way. Give him a hug.

Ghosted

You just posted this and it's outdated. Delete it

Note that DeWine chooses to believe the second test. That is risky. He would do well to self-quarantine.

Catch up you idiots, he took a second test and was negative!

4 hours ago he tested negative. Join Twitter to keep up with current events.

Nice! Living proof of the false positive👏

But then - he didn't.

wow did you miss your own update to this, politico? test 2 neg

He retested negative with multiple tests. It was a false positive

Didn't he retest negative with PCR?

Karma is a bitch

just think ... if realDonaldTrump had NOT gone there today ... Mike would NOT have been tested and may have TRANSMITTED the virus to some MORE people ... so POTUS SAVED some more people from catching the CoronaVirus .... WHAT A MAN

Greatest excuse for cancelling a date EVER. I’m totally stealing it.0

Delete this

Tweets are just writing themselves these days....

*had. He’s already now also tested negative

His initial excuse to avoid meeting with Trump was that he had to wash his hair.

His retest was negative

Missed him by this much....
