White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has become the latest member of the administration to test positive for the coronavirus.
She announced the news on her Twitter account his morning, stating that she’s tested negative consistency, including every day since Thursday, but tested positive this morning. McEnany says that she hasn’t experienced any symptoms yet, though we won’t know for sure if she’s asymptomatic or currently pre-symptomatic for another few weeks.

This comes as a wave of administration members have tested positive for the virus, which some believe to be linked to their attendance at the Rose Garden Ceremony for Amy Coney Barrett’s SCOTUS nomination. Thus far the list of those testing positive for the virus includes:
- President Trump
- First lady Melania Trump
- Senior White House adviser Hope Hicks
- Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien
- Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel
- Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.
- Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C.
- Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.
- Former adviser Kellyanne Conway
- Former N.J. Gov. Chris Christie
- Personal assistant to the president Nick Luna
If McEnany fights this virus as hard as she fights the liars in the media, she fortunately has nothing to worry about.
