GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina has tested positive for the coronavirus. Tillis is the latest person to be diagnosed with the infection after attending the Supreme Court nomination ceremony in the White House Rose Garden for Amy Coney Barrett.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Lindsey Graham says senators can participate virtually in upcoming Supreme Court confirmation hearings after President Donald Trump and other lawmakers tested positive for the coronavirus.

Graham said his test for the coronavirus was negative. He said Lee is “in good spirits and on the mend” and expects to be back to work with the committee by Oct. 12, set as the date for the beginning of the confirmation process.President Donald Trump has arrived at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and released a video saying that he thinks he’s “doing very well.”

Shortly before he departed for the hospital, his personal physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said in a memo issued by the White House that he had received an experimental antibody cocktail.President Donald Trump has appeared in public for the first time since his COVID-19 diagnosis, giving a thumbs-up before he boarded Marine One for a military hospital.

Earlier Friday the White House said Trump remains “fatigued” and had been injected with an experimental antibody drug combination for the virus that has killed more than 205,000 Americans and spread to the highest reaches of the U.S. government.Joe Biden’s campaign is taking down its attack ads in the wake of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus infection.

“Let it be a reminder to all of us that we must remain vigilant and take care of ourselves and take care of each other,” she said. Speaking at an event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Friday, Biden said he received a test in Delaware and one from “the former White House doctor” who came up to Delaware to administer the test, “and everything’s clear.”

Trump is receiving a two-antibody combo drug that’s currently in late-stage studies from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. The company previously developed a successful treatment for Ebola using a similar approach.Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said the drug was being given “as a precautionary measure,” and that Trump also was taking zinc, vitamin D, an antacid called famotidine, melatonin and aspirin.

Not surprised the White House is filled with Obama Biden fanatics , crazy and dangerous corrupt people like their leader. Rose Garden Fab gay Latin man for realDonaldTrump must investigate all employees! TuckerCarlson Good Saturday Kellyanne Conway MeanGirlsDay

Do these folks believe that God's intervention on this nominee is trying to slow this down by giving people covid? He brings plagues to sinners... just sayin

peterrough Your comment on DW about left-wing extremism is essentially wrong. The Republicans have literally integrated the extreme right, the Proud Boys, the KKK, etc.. into their ranks. The far left in the USA is still outside the Dems. 2

Catch me a little later when I may be able to help out.

At this rate Mitch McConnell is going to run out of Republican senators.

Hasn't this bunch of sellout losers murder 300k+ Americans already in their utter failure and corruption and lies?

Super Spreading Event!

One by one let them all be smitten.

Putin aint shit. I wish Trump well (because I have never in my life wished hardship on ANYBODY ) but he aint shit either. All them people dead. Now look at him. Laid tf up wit the shit. Didnt even provide the public with masks when it MATTERED MOST.😪😪

Another one. The hoax is very active these days in felling those who ignore it.

Barrett Superspreader!

Dominos are stating to fall...

Why are black people still voting for while Democrats continue gutting US black population via 300,000 abortions per year?

It is a choice ..... we all make choice ..... the mask don’t work ...... it isn’t going to go away ...... let people make their choice ...... :)

Because that is the only place that WuhanCoronavirus exists? The corporate press is the enemy of the people.

Russia has the vaccine... give it to Trump!!

A result of careless behavior.

The man who traded stocks & profited from intel about Covid while lying to the rest of us about it’s seriousness gets Covid. Karma baby.

Putin doesn't want to lose his puppet.

Now Kellyanne Conway.

So who’s making decisions for the country and if needed the military? I hope is not an unelected official like The extremist Secretary of State like Pompeo.

Oh, is that where he got it? You know that for a fact, AP?

Republicans, should avoid any contact with Democrats.

“It is what it is”

I'm taking a guess. Putin's 'sincere support' consists of $47.4 million or what did Trump's TaxReturns say about losses in 2018? Trump

Putin might have to go shopping for another lapdog..

Are there two kinds of support - sincere and insincere ?

jamesaydelott It’s unraveling

Oh well!

Is this now 6 from that one event?

Skip the hearings, go straight to the vote.

THOUGHTS AN PRAYERS. KARMA. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.!! JUST GIVE THEM A SHOT OF CLOROX, hydroxychloroquine!. DO THEY HAVE GOOD HEALTHCARE. NO PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. PRETTY BOY PUTIN WISHS HIS SWEET HEART TRAITOR TRUMP A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

And the virus shows them their hubris...

Putin is only interested in making sure Trump pays back all his debts to Mother Russia!

Any chance that some of the currently-seated justices also attended the event?

Anyone else thinking what thinking? Seems awfully coincidental the president and republican senators are the only ones getting it.

How many repub senators is that? And how many dems? Have we yet crossed the line where the majority of senators who can attend a vote are dems, who can vote her down?

Mitch As the SENATE MAJORITY Leader, YOUR continuing FAILURE TO NEGOTIATE & PASS the Crisis Response Fund HAS NOW resulted in *212,694 DEATHS 1K/D *30 Million unemployed *losing their healthcare WITH RECORD *Bankruptcies *Foreclosures *Evictions STOP creating uncertainty & CHAOS!

Well well well. Karma is a bitch after all

White House gonna need fumigation after don and Natasha leave

God taking out the trash

So did Israel, France, UK, India, N Korea, Taiwan ....

Biden in his basement right now!! He knew!!! This was the plan all along! TrumpHasCovid And next! The world!

This is an encouraging new trend!

He'll have to figure it out himself

We need a big picture of the seating at the event, like a where's waldo, but instead we circle ' where's covid'.

Tip of the iceberg. They’re all going down. Hope that keeps Tillis home for awhile.

This isn’t news. We impeached him over Putin’s sincere support.

Rona was at the rose garden party like hey

Tip of the iceberg. They’re all going down. Hope that keeps Tillis home for awhile.

😃

the more GOP motherfuckerz the merrier.

Stay away from DC

Anyone who walks around without a mask because this is nothing but a hoax, deserves everything the get. Those in the Rose Garden, those at his rallies, everyone. Sad that he has to catch Covid19 to avoid debating Biden.

A few more and Mitch will not have a majority in the Senate... Bring on the votes!!!!

Putin offers sincere support to his protege

Anyon see a connection here to ACB ?

MichaelBenny Prayers covering his family. 🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏

Maybe it was on purpose to thwart ACB nomination. At this point anything is possible

Thoughts and prayers.

It is what it is.

This is called righteousness.

Keep it up God.

The GOP Virus. COVIDIOTS IMPOTUS WearAMask BidenHarris

It seems like realDonaldTrump knew he had covid-19 before his last debate. Trump family did not wear mask at last debate and they were not tested.

US States, all 50 of them, are going to have to decide where to go from here. Stand by. Stand up. Stand strong.

Tillis just told voters that the COVID death numbers were inflated when in reality they are higher than reported He's voted to get rid of healthcare 9 times He wants to cut social security & medicare he's a trump lackey Karma is a beeeeeeeeeeeeatch

Of course his best buddy. They wanted to make the US part of Russia

It’s almost like someone doesn’t like this whole fast track, less than a month before an election Supreme Court nomination

I’ll bet he does.

I thought it was a hoax? Maybe now they’ll start wearing mask and message correctly. Their messaging and behavior is what is not allowing the virus to be contained and our economy from recovering.

When ego and arrogance collide.......

Hoping many more Republicans are struck down with the disease. This could help America be o e great again

Ts and Ps

that was a major spreader event. expect more cases

Now that Trump has Corona, does this mean he has a pre-existing condition?

Urinals

they acted so indifferent and stirred up so much hoopla about covid and ignored science over a very contagious virus that respects no one and doesn't even vote...I am not surprised at all myself.
