Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, said today that President Trump “sounds well and says he’s feeling good”. At the phone call, President Trump and Mitch McConnell talked about issues including COVID-19 and confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Trump was transferred to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center yesterday after suffering what were described by the White House as “mild” symptoms after testing positive for COVID 19 the night before. Today, both Trump and his doctors described his condition positively.
Senate Majority Leader, McConnell twitted:
“He sounds well and says he’s feeling good. We talked about the people’s business — fighting the pandemic, confirming Judge Barrett, and strengthening the economy for American families,” he said. “Let’s keep our President & First Lady in our prayers.”
