Herman Cain, American businessman and former Republican candidate for president, has died after being hospitalized with COVID-19 for nearly a month, according to a post on his personal website and a source close to the White House to ABC News.
„You’re never ready for the kind of news we are grappling with this morning. But we have no choice but to seek and find God’s strength and comfort to deal with it,“ staffer Dan Calabrese wrote in an obituary posted on HermanCain.com Thursday. „Herman Cain — our boss, our friend, like a father to so many of us — has passed away.“
„Although he was basically pretty healthy in recent years, he was still in a high-risk group because of his history with cancer,“ the post continues. „We knew the time would come when the Lord would call him home, but we really liked having him here with us, and we held out hope he’d have a full recovery.“
Cain, 74, was hospitalized in Atlanta with the coronavirus on July 1,10 days after he attended President Donald Trump’s indoor rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 20. He was photographed there inside the arena without a mask sitting with a group of other Trump campaign surrogates.
When Cain’s team confirmed the news of his hospitalization on Twitter, they noted: „There is no way of knowing for sure how or where Mr. Cain contracted the coronavirus.
