According to the projections making rounds on the Internet, Joe Biden will probably be the next US president and this is not the only bad news for Donald Trump. According to the latest reports, the White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has tested positive for Covid-19. As per reports, “he informed a close circle of advisers after Tuesday’s election” about the infection, but it wasn't clear when he first tested positive. He had traveled with President Donald Trump on November 1 and 2, 2020.

For the uninitiated, Mark Meadows became 29th White House chief of staff on March 31, 2020. He previously served as the US representative for North Carolina's 11th congressional district from 2013 to 2020 and was considered one of Trump's closest allies in Congress before his appointment as chief of staff. Mark Meadows came into limelight when he played an influential role in the Trump administration's response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mark and Debbie go a long way back to their high school days. That’s where they first met and apparently also dated, as published by the website Amo Mama. They both went to a high school in Tampa Bay and according to the Smoky Mountain News, Mark lost a significant amount of weight while at school to the point that Debbie thought he as a new student, as reported by the website Heavy.com. The lovebirds parted their ways for a while only to come back together later and get married.

Bonding over business

After tying the knot, Mark and Debbie explored their business ideas. The duo opened a restaurant in the 1980s called Aunt D’s in North Carolina and apparently after making it a success, the couple repaid their $25,000 credit line and sold the business off, as published by Amo Mama. With another brilliant idea, the duo kick-started their real estate business and made their name in North Carolina.

After doing relatively well in their business in the early 2000s, Mark decided to step into politics with his business connections and Debbie supported him throughout. Mark then got elected to the House of Representatives, serving as a rep to North Carolina’s 11th congressional district from 2013 to 2020. Mark and Debbie also shared their common interest in Donald Trump. Debbie also made headlines in 2016 when she supported Trump over his distasteful remarks about women in his leaked Access Hollywood tape.

Mark and Debbie have two kids Blake and Hayley. According to the site Heavy.com, Hayley graduated from Lee University in 2015. Mark and Debbie were recently in news for throwing a lavish 70-person indoor wedding for their daughter. The Atlanta wedding was in news for breaking the Coronavirus protocols as it was held during the early pandemic and no one was spotted wearing a mask.

Coming back to Mark and Debbie, the former never shies away from sharing their lovely photos on his official Instagram account and the duo is more or less spotted at various events together proving they are as strong as ever.
