White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany refused to speculate whether Herman Cain contracted coronavirus at President Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

McEnany noted that Cain, who died on Thursday after a battle with COVID-19, had traveled to several locations prior to contracting the virus. She said that the White House is focused on honoring his legacy rather than politicizing his death.
