“I pray that in addition to his health, that the president’s heart will be open to the millions of people who have been affected.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday she is getting information on the president’s diagnosis the same way as most people — through the media. “We’re getting our information the way everyone else is, in the media,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” when asked Sunday whether she was satisfied with the level of communication from the White House on the president’s status. President Donald Trump disclosed he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for Covid-19 in an early morning tweet on Friday. “Let me just say on this Sunday morning, our prayers are with the president and the first lady and all those who surround him,” Pelosi said. “Hopefully, the contact tracing will give us an idea who needs to be treated so that the toll of this terrible virus isn’t even worse than it is.” Pelosi — who is third in line after Vice President Mike Pence and Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley in the line of succession — added that she tested negative Friday for Covid-19 and she said she intends to be tested regularly.
