Or, he might as well just run as a lying-in-state embalmed corpse. And when he wins, the likes of Paula White will be assigned to "channel" Presidential policy through seance.
Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Donald Trump, has tested positive for coronavirus, he said Tuesday.
"Over the last 5 days I have been working remotely and self-isolating, testing negative every day through yesterday. Today, I tested positive for COVID-19 and am in quarantine," Miller said in a statement.
He is the latest official caught up in an outbreak at the White House that has seen at least 10 others test positive.
Miller's wife, Katie Miller, is Vice President Mike Pence's communications director. She already had coronavirus several months ago and tested negative again on Tuesday morning. She traveled with Pence to Salt Lake City ahead of the vice presidential debate scheduled for Wednesday, but left the trip Tuesday out of an abundance of caution, per an official.
Devin O'Malley, Pence's press secretary, said on Twitter Tuesday night that the vice president had tested negative earlier in the day.
Stephen Miller's diagnosis is likely to fuel new scrutiny of the White House's decision to decline offers from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help investigate the outbreak at the complex and to begin contact tracing of those who attended events with the President.
"The White House has plans and procedures in place that incorporate current CDC guidelines and best practices for limiting COVID-19 exposure and has established a robust contact tracing program led by the White House Medical Unit with CDC integration," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement.
COVID-19 just “jumped species”!!
The polls have so much discrepancy that 538.com's Nate Silver isn't sure who's going to win.Polling data out of the U.S. is all over the map.
In the last 24 hours we've seen a national poll that pegged Biden ahead something like 57-41.............great...
But in that same period, I've seen polls from key battleground/swing states that show Trump ahead or competitive in enough to win.
While local polling is by nature different from national..........
I don't understand the size of the discrepancies I'm seeing.
One or more pollsters are either being willfully misleading.........or just plain out to lunch.
We see outlier polls in Canada too...........
And we're familiar w/national numbers that may look misleading due to results in AB or Quebec.
But this disparity in results in just nuts.
Look at this:
One poll here, says Biden up by 2.7: https://baytownsun.com/coronavirus/article_f4e03f48-ad84-5a0d-9e15-67ea1adcd187.html
While this one says 16: https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/06/politics/donald-trump-joe-biden-cnn-poll/index.html
That's a differential far outside any margin of error. That's a 13.3 spread................
I would like to think Biden has this................but there is no counting chickens here as it were.............
