Longtime friend, and vehement supporter of trump, Rudy Giuliani also recently got tested for the virus. Giuliani and his girlfriend Maria Ryan tested negative for COVID-19 on Friday.
Giuliani, who spent last weekend at the White House helping Trump get prepared for Tuesday night’s debate, rushed with Ryan to get tested after the president revealed overnight that both he and the first lady had been diagnosed with COVID-19.
“All negative,” the 76-year-old former New York mayor said in a text message.
