HERMAN CAIN DIES FROM CORONAVIRUS
(The Midday Report - Pierre The Don)
Herman Cain, a onetime Republican presidential candidate and former CEO of Godfather's Pizza,
has died from coronavirus, according to an obituary sent from his verified Twitter account and
Newsmax, where he was launching a television show. Cain, 74, was hospitalized earlier this month,
and his Twitter account said this week he was being treated with oxygen in his lungs. It is unknown
where Cain contracted the virus. "You're never ready for the kind of news we are grappling with
this morning. But we have no choice but to seek and find God's strength and comfort to deal," his
official Twitter account said Thursday. As a co-chair of Black Voices for Trump, Cain was one of the
surrogates at President Donald Trump's June 20 rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma -- which saw at least eight
Trump advance team staffers in attendance test positive for coronavirus. Trump campaign spokes
-man Tim Murtaugh has told CNN that Cain did not meet with Trump at the Tulsa rally. Content by
