Valley voters react to President Trump testing positive for coronavirus

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for coronavirus, the President announced early Friday morning.

Mr. Trump's diagnosis injects another layer of uncertainty into the presidential election just 32 days from now.

“2020 has been a disaster the whole year,I just want to get it over with, I want the election over with, I want COVID over with," said Terry Cooper, Palm Springs.

Emotions running hazy for valley voters after the shocking news that president Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for coronavirus.

“I wish the president and his wife and family the best but i hope they get over this quickly," said Terry Cooper, Palm Springs.

President Trump left the Whitehouse for treatment at Walter Reed Medical center Friday afternoon. 

“Definitely seems like there is a lot more uncertainty in the election is he going to be able to,"said Jackie Cutsinger, who's visiting Palm Springs.

"Although it really doesn’t surprise me either on how he’s been unmasked for a number of public speaking events," said Carla Frayer, who's visiting Palm Springs.

Public Policy and Sociology professor at UCR, Richard Carpiano weighed in on what we could expect with election day just a month away. 

“So at this stage and this close to the election, it's going to be very hard to predict what exactly might might come up," said Carpiano, "This we'll have to so it's really, a lot of this is going to be hurry up and wait.” 

Carpiano said this isn’t the first time in history where a president has faced a major health concern.

“When it comes to health issues presidents are not always fully transparent, a significant stroke afflicted Woodrow Wilson, while he was in office and John F. Kennedy had Addison's disease, which is a disabling condition that he kept quiet," said Carpiano.

But now our president having  coronavirus, it could bring another impact.  

“So this really is in and of itself a significant national security issue.” 

And with President Trump quarantined for 14 day, Carpiano said his responsibilities may not be limited. 

“Provided he's not too incapacitated by symptoms, and feels capable of being able to execute his duties, then he'll be able to do many of the activities that he's he needs to do as part of his job," said Carpiano.
