Former presidential candidate Herman Cain dies of COVID-19 complications

Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has died after a weeks-long battle with COVID-19, his family announced Thursday.

He was 74.

“Herman Cain – our boss, our friend, like a father to so many of us – has passed away,” his website said. “He’s entering the presence of the Savior he’s served as an associate minister at Antioch Baptist Church in Atlanta for, and preparing for his reward.”

“We knew when he was first hospitalized with COVID-19 that this was going to be a rough fight. He had trouble breathing and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. We all prayed that the initial meds they gave him would get his breathing back to normal, but it became clear pretty quickly that he was in for a battle.”

It’s not clear when or where Cain was infected, but he was hospitalized less than two weeks after attending President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He did not meet with Trump there, according to the campaign.

Cain was hospitalized July 2 in an Atlanta-area hospital after developing “serious” symptoms, according to a statement posted on his Twitter account Thursday.

The former pizza company executive was an outspoken backer of the president and was named by the campaign as a co-chair of Black Voices for Trump.

Cain briefly rose to the top of polls during the 2012 race for the Republican presidential nomination by highlighting a plan to simplify the tax code with what he called the 9-9-9 plan. On the campaign trail, he spoke about being diagnosed in 2006 with stage 4 liver cancer and his doctors giving him slim hope for long-term survival.

More recently, he kept involved in conservative politics as a commentator on Newsmax.

I guess I don't remember him, the name is familiar, though.

Still, it's sad for family and friends when someone dies.

 I have doubts about his cause of death.

 Remission is merely a pause.
