Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has been hospitalized and is being treated for COVID-19, according to a statement Thursday. Cain was notified on Monday that he had tested positive for the novel coronavirus and by Wednesday had developed symptoms serious enough that he required hospitalization, the statement said. His staff said they don't know how Cain became infected. Following his 2012 presidential bid, Cain launched THE New Voice, an advocacy group focused on tax reform, energy policy, and national security, and has become a frequent commentator on news outlets. Most recently, Cain attended President Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla., tweeting a photo from the June 20 event with other supporters.
