“This evening we were notified that a member of the Office of the Vice President tested positive for the Coronavirus. Neither President Trump nor Vice President Pence had close contact with the individual,” said Katie Miller. “Further contact tracing is being conducted in accordance with CDC guidelines.”
While the staffer is the closest confirmed case to Pence that is publicly known, it isn’t his first potential brush with the virus.
At least two people tested positive for the coronavirus after attending the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s Policy Conference in Washington, which was attended by Pence as well as several lawmakers and aides.
Both Trump and Pence attended the Wing Nut Fest (CPAC) where another wing nut tested positive for the virus.
