If Hicks was quarantined Wed, why is it taking tRump so long

to get tested? Are the results delayed or are they working on their talking points?

"Officials at the White House have known about Ms. Hicks’s diagnosis since Wednesday evening, when she traveled with the president aboard Air Force One to Minnesota for a campaign rally in Duluth. Her condition was reported earlier by Bloomberg News, which also said that she had been quarantined on the return flight to Washington. It was unclear when she took the test that resulted in a positive diagnosis."
