Deadline is issuing a rare apology after a story went live on the website claiming that U.S. Vice President Mike had tested positive for COVID-19.
On Thursday, Pence’s team announced he was cancelling a scheduled trip to his home state of Indiana on Friday to vote early.
According to the Indianapolis Star, suspicions were immediately raised that Pence, like President Donald Trump, had tested positive for COVID-19, given that he was in attendance at the so-called “super-spreader” event at the White House last week that has led numerous people who attended to test positive, including presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
