I’m at the @FaithandFreedom conference in Atlanta, where conservative activists are gathering - and taking in the news of Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis. @VP Pence was here on Wednesday, and a long list of Republican politicians will address the crowd. #gapol

Marci McCarthy showed off her bright-red Trump mask, which she said she wears periodically.

“It shows we are all able to contract COVID-19. And many of us can move forward and survive from it. I’m very confident President Trump and Melania will recover.” #gapol – bei Cobb Galleria Centre

Dianne Putnam, a Whitfield County activist, predicted it won’t make much difference on the campaign trail.
“It doesn’t change anything. His supporters are going to support him and pray for him and be positive. And it will probably make them take the virus more seriously.”

Says @SenatorLoeffler: “We pray for their recovery ... There’s no more important time than today to fight for conservative values.” #gasen – bei Cobb Galleria Centre

Senator @MarshaBlackburn is at the conference but she’s delivering remarks from backstage because she was exposed to the president this week. “We pray for the president and Mrs. Trump, his team, and we know we’re all praying for a speedy recovery." #gapol

More Blackburn: "I can assure you the president will probably start tweeting about his appreciation for those prayers," she said, predicting that Democratic attempts to capitalize on the disease will backfire. #gapol

Georgia @sendavidperdue gets right to it: "Why are we here? I believe God has his hand on American right this minute ... We came here at this point in time for this mission. It wasn’t by accident. It was by God’s providence." #gapol #gasen
