Hope Hicks: 5 Things To Know About Trump’s Top Aide Who Tested Positive For Coronavirus
Hope Hicks has played a vital role in President Donald Trump‘s 2020 re-election efforts, but now she’s contracted COVID-19. As one of his closest senior advisors, the 31-year-old travelled with him to Ohio on Sept. 29 for his first presidential debate against Democratic presidential opponent Joe Biden,. She was also with him the following day as Trump flew to Duluth, MN for a campaign rally on Sept. 30. She began feeling symptoms of the coronavirus on the flight home, and tested positive for COVID-19 on the morning of Oct. 1. As a result, Trump and wife Melania have now gone into quarantine and are awaiting tests to see if they too have COVID-19.
