Biden’s vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris said she and her husband are keeping the Trumps in their thoughts.

“Doug and I join Joe Biden and Dr. Biden in wishing President Trump and the First Lady a full and speedy recovery,” she said. “We’re keeping them and the entire Trump family in our thoughts.”

In a statement posted to social media and sent to media outlets, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said that he and wife were praying for President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump after they both tested positive for coronavirus early this morning.

The statement reads:

"Fran and I join our fellow Ohioans in praying for President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump after they announced early today that they have both tested positive for COVID-19.

“Along with millions of others, we extend our prayers and best wishes to the President and First Lady during this time for a speedy recovery and for their good health.”
