During a recent meeting with the governor of Texas, Trump told reporters that he had contact with the man and would be tested daily going forward. Both, Trump nor Pence wore masks during the meeting.

"I've had very little contact with this gentleman. Know who he is, good person... Yeah it's a little bit strange, but it's one of those things," he further added.
