Former President Barack Obama sent well wishes to President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump on Friday, despite being “in the midst of a big political fight.”
“Although we’re in the midst of a big political fight, and we take that very seriously, we also want to extend our best wishes to the president of the United States, the first lady,” Obama, speaking during a virtual fundraiser with 2020 Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris, stated.
“Michelle and I are hopeful that they and others that have been affected by COVID-19 around the country are getting the care that they need, that they are going to be on the path to a speedy recovery, and it’s important I think for all of us to remember that even when we’re in the midst of big political battles with issues that have a lot at stake, that we’re all Americans and we’re all human beings, and we want to make sure everybody is healthy.”
Michelle and I hope that the President, First Lady, and all those affected by the coronavirus around the country are getting the care they need and are on the path to a speedy recovery.

Following his positive coronavirus test Friday morning, Trump took an experimental dose of Regneron’s antibody cocktail and was transported to Walter Reed Military Medical Center as a “precautionary measure.”
“I think I’m doing very well, but we’re going to make sure things work out,” Trump said in a video he tweeted shortly after arriving at Walter Reed. “The first lady is doing very well, so thank you very much. I appreciate it very much. I will never forget it.”
