– President Trump’s doctors say he’s getting better and could be discharged from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as early as Monday. Trump, who was admitted to the hospital Friday for testing positive for the virus known as coronavirus, is still being treated with the antiviral drug Remdesivir, and doctors say he has been given the steroid dexamethasone, Reuters reports. “There’s some expected findings, but nothing of any major clinical concern,” says Dr. Sean P. Conley, the president’s doctor. The 74-year-old’s liver and kidney function remain normal after the second dose of Remdesivir, and doctors say they hope to have him back at the White House on Monday. Trump’s campaign has announced that Vice President Mike Pence will take over his duties if Trump is unable to continue in his role as the face of the Republican Party. “We can’t stay in our basement or shut down the economy indefinitely. We have to take it head-on,” campaign senior adviser Jason Miller said on ABC’s This Week on Sunday. With Trump off the campaign trail indefinitely, his campaign announced “Operation MAGA,” based on his slogan “Make America Great Again,” which will see high-profile allies including Pence and Trump’s elder sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, take over in-person campaigning this week. Pence, who tested negative on Friday, is scheduled to debate Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden this week.
