President Donald Trump’s former adviser Kellyanne Conway has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The news was first revealed by her teenage daughter Claudia in a TikTok video but Conway later took to Twitter to confirm.
It comes days after Conway attended a White House event that is now linked to at least seven other COVID-19 cases, including President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
Conway tweeted Friday that she has a ‘light cough’ and is ‘feeling fine’.

‘I have begun a quarantine process in consultation with physicians,’ she added.
Her 15-year-old daughter Claudia began to speculate that the former adviser may have been infected in a string of videos posted to TikTok on Friday evening.
‘My mom coughing all around the house after Trump tested positive for COVID,’ she wrote on the first video and she lip-synced the lines ‘that’s weird, that’s suspicious’.
‘When my lungs hurt and it’s hard for me to breathe,’ she wrote on the next, revealing that she was also experiencing coronavirus symptoms.
She later posted a singing video before returning to Trump and his positive coronavirus test.
‘I don’t wish ill on anybody but … the irony,’ she said.
‘I hope the Lysol cures him,’ Claudia added as she played a line from Tuesday’s debate in which Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden tells Trump ‘you’re the worst president America has ever had’.
In her next video, Claudia confirmed her mother’s positive test as she sat with a mask on. ‘Bye I’m done, I’ll see you all in two weeks,’ she wrote in the caption.
‘I’m furious. Wear your masks. Don’t listen to our idiot f*****g president piece of s**t. Protect yourself and those around you,’ she added.
The teenager is a vocal critic of the president despite her mom’s previous prominent role in his administration. Claudia became a viral star on TikTok after she began to criticize the White House and her family’s involvement.
Conway attended the Rose Garden announcement Saturday where President Donald Trump announced his nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Among the attendees, Republican Sens. Mike Lee and Thom Tillis, the president of the University of Notre Dame, as well as Trump himself tested positive Friday for the coronavirus.
