希克斯周二和他一起前往俄亥俄州参加辩论，周三前往明尼苏达州参加集会。
希克斯周三离开白宫飞往安德鲁斯联合基地时，也在总统的直升机“海军一号”上。有人看到她和斯蒂芬·米勒、丹·斯卡维诺和贾里德·库什纳等总统高级顾问一起走向直升机。他们都没有戴面具。

拜登竞选团队尚未就总统的阳性测试结果发表公开声明，也不知道特朗普的诊断将如何影响第二场辩论以及下周迈克·彭斯和参议员卡马拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)之间的副总统辩论。
彭斯周五向特朗普一家表达了他的想法，称他正在为他们的康复祈祷。
“凯伦和我向我们亲爱的朋友总统@雷·唐纳·特朗普和@ FLOTUS·梅兰妮·特朗普致以我们的爱和祈祷。我们和全美数百万人一起祈祷他们能尽快完全康复。彭斯在推特上写道:“上帝保佑你，特朗普总统&我们出色的第一夫人梅拉尼。”。

据媒体报道，蓬佩奥周五表示:“我们为总统和第一夫人祈祷，希望他们早日康复。”。“今天早上我也和副总统办公室谈过了。我们显然对此非常重视。我们会尽一切努力保护包括你们在内的所有人的安全。”

由于特朗普对新冠肺炎的测试呈阳性，股票期货立即抛售。

White House Dr. Sean Conley confirmed the news in a memorandum early Friday.
"This evening I received confirmation that both President Trump and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The President and First Lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain home at the White House during their convalescence," Conley wrote.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump leave after the first presidential debate at Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Sept. 29, 2020.
The first lady also tweeted early Friday morning, confirming the news.
"As too many Americans have done this year, @potus & I are quarantining at home after testing positive for COVID-19. We are feeling good & I have postponed all upcoming engagements. Please be sure you are staying safe & we will all get through this together," Melania Trump tweeted.
The news comes just four hours after it was revealed that one of the president's closest advisers,Hope Hicks, had tested positive.
Hicks had traveled with him to Ohio for the debate on Tuesday and to Minnesota for a rally on Wednesday.
Hicks was also on Marine One, the president's helicopter, when it left the White House to fly to Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday. She was seen walking to the helicopter with fellow top presidential advisers, such as Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino and Jared Kushner. None of them were wearing masks.
Hope Hicks, an advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump walks to Air Force One to depart Washington with the president and other staff on campaign travel to Minnesota from Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, U.S., September 30, 2020.
ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl reports that Hicks is experiencing symptoms.
"Not only did she test positive but we've also been told that she is symptomatic," Karl said Friday. "She is sick."
Trump was on the debate state Tuesday night in Cleveland with Democratic presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden.
It was at the first presidential debate where Trump mocked Biden for wearing masks. "I don't wear masks like him. Every time you see him, he's got a mask," he said Tuesday. "He could be speaking 200 feet away and he shows up with the biggest mask I've ever seen."
President Donald Trump holds a face mask as he speaks during the first presidential debate in Cleveland, Sept. 29, 2020.
The Biden campaign has yet to put out a public statement about the president's positive test result and it's unknown how Trump's diagnosis will impact the second debate and next week's vice president debate between Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris.
Pence sent his thoughts to the Trump family Friday, saying he's praying for their recovery.
"Karen and I send our love and prayers to our dear friends President @realDonaldTrump and @FLOTUS Melania Trump. We join millions across America praying for their full and swift recovery. God bless you President Trump & our wonderful First Lady Melania," Pence tweeted.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who landed Friday in Dubrovnik, Croatia, said he and his wife tested negative Friday morning for COVID-19. He said he hasn't seen the president since Sept. 15.
“We are praying for the President and First Lady that they’ll have a speedy recovery," Pompeo said Friday, according to the press pool. “I spoke with the vice president’s office this morning as well. We’re taking this obviously very seriously. And we’ll do everything we can to keep everyone safe including you all.”
In light of Trump's positive coronavirus test, the president has canceled Friday's rally. His only scheduled event is a closed press call on COVID-19 support to “vulnerable seniors.”
After holding an indoor rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June that was lightly attended, the Trump campaign paused official rallies until mid-August. Since then, however, Trump has held 20 rallies since restarting them on Aug. 17. He held 15 rallies in September alone.
Stock futures immediately sold off on the news that Trump has tested positive for COVID-19.
At this time, the S&P 500 is pointing to a 1.5% lower open.
More than 7.27 million people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and at least 207,789 people have died, according to Johns Hopkins University.
