WASHINGTON (AP) – The Trump campaign’s election night watch party in the White House East Room was supposed to be a scene of celebration.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows attended the event, and has become the latest top White House official to contract the coronavirus. Meadows is part of another White House cluster that has emerged a month after President Donald Trump’s own diagnosis.
