President Trump's announcement that he and first lady Melania have tested positive for the coronavirus, after word that Senior White House adviser Hope Hicks tested positive, has set off a domino effect of COVID tests for his cabinet and close advisers. Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen have tested negative. But RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel has tested positive, and is reportedly quarantining in her Michigan home and experiencing mild symptoms.

“After a member of her family tested positive for COVID-19, the chairwoman was tested for the virus,” RNC spokesman Steve Guest confirmed for Fox News. “On Wednesday afternoon, she got confirmation she was COVID-19 positive.”

“She has been at her home in Michigan since last Saturday,” Guest added.

Prominent leaders are wishing her a speedy recovery.

While there's been plenty of callous, hate-filled responses from the worst corners of social media, there have been well wishes have been pouring in from both sides of the political aisle, including from some of the president's loudest critics
