Bernie Sanders attends rally, wishes Trump well

US Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders wished on Saturday a ''speedy and full recovery'' to President Donald Trump and his wife Melania after they tested positive for COVID-19.

Sanders also wished a speedy recovery to all the other people close to the President who tested positive for the coronavirus.

Among those who tested positive: former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, the president of the University of Notre Dame, and at least two Republican lawmakers - Utah Senator Mike Lee and North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis.

Sanders held a socially distanced outdoor rally Saturday in Lebanon, New Hampshire which was capped to keep crowds from growing too large.

It was the first time he returned to in-person campaigning since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March.

He is visiting the battleground states of New Hampshire and Michigan to promote Joe Biden and soothe any lingering tensions between the Democratic Party's progressive and centrist wings.

Sanders ended his presidential primary campaign in April and endorsed Biden just days later, as both candidates worked to promote party unity that largely eluded Hillary Clinton in 2016.
