Rep. Drew Ferguson of Georgia tests positive for coronavirus after helping lead Trump counter-rally

By John Wagner

Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.), who co-hosted a pro-Trump counter-rally Tuesday when Biden came to Georgia, announced Friday that he has tested positive for the coronavirus. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), another co-host of the event, said he would self-isolate after being exposed to someone who tested positive.

In a statement, Ferguson said he has begun working from home.

“While the vast majority of my recent schedule has been virtual, we are beginning the process of reaching to anyone I have seen in recent days,” Ferguson said.

Cody Hall, a spokesman for Kemp, said in a tweet that the governor and first lady Marty Kemp were both self-quarantining after exposure to someone who tested positive. The tweet did not name the person.

Kemp and Ferguson were among the leaders of a “MAGA Meetup” on Tuesday in Manchester, Ga., as Biden campaigned in the state.
