Christie is in the hospital after testing positive for COVID-19 … he says he checked himself into Morristown Medical Center in New Jersey and has mild symptoms.
Christie says … “In consultation with my doctors, I checked myself into Morristown Medical Center this afternoon. While I am feeling good and only have mild symptoms, due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure.”
He adds … “I am thankful for our hardworking medical professionals and look forward to coming home soon.”
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christieis the latest Trump loyalist to test positive for the coronavirus.
Christie just announced, “I just received word that I am positive for COVID-19. I want to thank all of my friends and colleagues who have reached out to ask how I was feeling in the last day or two,” adding, “I will be receiving medical attention today and will keep the necessary folks apprised of my condition.”
Christie spent time with Trump preparing for last Tuesday’s debate against Joe Biden. He was also at what is increasingly looking like a super-spreader event — the White House Rose Garden ceremony a week ago where Trump’s SCOTUS nominee was unveiled. At least 8 people who were at the event now have COVID.
As we reported, Trump’s doctor just made a stunning revelation … that Trump tested positive 72 hours ago … that would mean he was positive Wednesday and Thursday and exposed hundreds of people — including those who attended a fundraiser — to the virus.
