This weekend we all learned that RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel fell ill on Friday and was tested for the coronavirus, because she’d potentially been exposed to it at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago party. Since that time, we’ve seen Donald Trump dubiously announce that he’s tested negative, and we’ve also seen a self-quarantined Lindsey Graham announce that he’s tested negative.

So where’s the test result for Ronna McDaniel? It’s been nearly seventy-two hours, and the test results are only supposed to take a day or two. She’s spent the past few days continuing to tweet pro-Trump propaganda, while dishonestly attacking Joe Biden. But shouldn’t there have been a test result by now? We can debate about whether a political figure like her has an ethical responsibility to disclose their test result.

But the reality is that she publicly announced she was being tested, and then the New York Times reported that Team Trump was pissed off at her for having dared to reveal she was ill, and now we’re hearing nothing about her test result. Something doesn’t add up here.

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
