politico The Biden campaign is testing those who attended the first presidential debate with the former vice president for Covid-19. A source familiar with the situation told us that the Biden campaign has rapid testing capability and is testing everyone who attended the debate.
Its unclear how many people that involves. Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, both tested negative for the virus earlier today.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) were among those who traveled with Biden to Tuesdays debate and have been tested. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti were also among those who attended the debate.
Ryan expressed anger at the Trump family for its approach to the virus at the debate, saying the family and campaign should be held accountable for potentially exposing Biden and other attendees to the virus.
Ryan, who sat in the Cleveland debate hall where the Trump family refused to wear masks, said he woke up Friday morning to see the news that the president had tested positive and promptly was tested in Washington D.C. because he would have to fly home soon to be with his wife, a school teacher, and children.
Not a one of em wore masks. It was obnoxious when I saw it that night, but after having a Q-Tip jammed down my nose again, Im angry at them, Ryan told POLITICO, referring to the Trumps. Its the height of arrogance. Its dangerous. They endangered other people. They were up on the stage where Joe Biden was.
The Trump campaign did not contact the Biden campaign to alert them that the president and first lady had tested positive, according to a source familiar with the sequence of events. The campaign found out from the news media.
Bidens running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, was tested yesterday as part of the campaigns routine testing protocol, and tested negative. The California senator and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were both tested again for Covid-19 this morning and both tested negative, an aide said. We have more on how the campaign is handling the fallout from President Trump's diagnosis.

trump/his campaign needs to be sued for intentionally putting the lives of the ppl at the debate at risk. fkn cretin.

every penny of their campaign funds to pay attorney fees and THEN personal funds to compensate every courts do!
