Eric Garcetti says his 9-year-old daughter tested positive for COVID-19

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told reporters on Thursday that his 9-year-old daughter tested positive for COVID-19.

During a press briefing, Garcetti said that both he and his wife had tested negative. He also said he did not have plans to end his tenure as major earlier to join President-elect Joe Biden’s administration. The mayor didn’t say what positions had been in consideration, only that “there were things on the table” for him. Speculation surrounded Garcetti as a potential pick for transportation secretary, a role that in the end went to former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
