(Mankato, MN) – U.S. Representative Jim Hagedorn has tested negative for COVID-19.

The Congressman was tested after traveling on Air Force One with President Trump, who announced Thursday night he’d tested positive for the virus.

“This morning, I was tested for COVID-19 out of extreme precaution after consulting with the Attending Physician of the U.S. Congress,” Hagedorn said in a statement after his negative test result.  “The test came back ‘negative’ and I am feeling well.”

“President Trump, our wonderful First Lady and all dealing with illness remain in my prayers,” said Hagedorn.
