Trump campaign launches 'Operation MAGA' while president recovers from COVID-19 [View all]

Source: The Hill

The reelection campaign for President Trump on Saturday announced it was launching “Operation MAGA,” a series of in-person and virtual campaign events to be held throughout the final month before Election Day.

The announcement comes as Trump remains at Walter Reed Medical Center following the news early Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump had contracted COVID-19.

In a press release, the campaign described “Operation MAGA,” as “a full marshaling of top-level surrogates, campaign coalitions, and Trump supporters to rally behind the President and carry the campaign forward until the President returns to the trail.”

“Operation MAGA will fire up the entire MAGA universe to keep President Trump’s campaign at full speed until our Commander-in-Chief returns to the campaign trail,” Trump 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien, who also tested positive for the virus on Friday, said in the press release.
