Former presidential candidate Herman Cain has died of complications from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), while Rep. Louie Gohmert has tested positive for the virus.

According to an article of Atlanta News Now, Cain was known as a computer analyst, millionaire business executive, political lobbyist, broadcaster, motivational speaker, and author. He was also known for his rich baritone voice.

But despite his success and popularity, the man who has achieved a high level of milestone in his life, got infected with the deadly COVID-19. Unfortunately, he was not able to recover from the disease and he died at the age of 74 on Thursday.

One of Cain's employees wrote on the social media: "We're heartbroken, and the world is poorer: Herman Cain has gone to be with the Lord."

Cain has been hospitalized since July 1 after traveling in multiple places in June. His travels included the rally of President Donald Trump in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where several people have been reported to have also contracted the coronavirus in the event.

Trump has mourned the death of Cain. He wrote on his social media account: "My friend Herman Cain, a Powerful Voice of Freedom and all that is good, passed away this morning. Herman had an incredible career and was adored by everyone that ever met him, especially me. He was a very special man, an American Patriot, and a great friend. I just got off."

Rep. Louie Gohmert tests positive for coronavirus

Meanwhile, Gohmert has tested positive for coronavirus before his planned travel with Trump to Texas. According to a report in Fox 5 Atlanta, he was removed from the trip after the result of his test.

According to The Hill, Gohmert had extensive contact with Attorney General William Barr, who also tested positive for the virus. This means that Gohmert might had get his infection from Barr.

Gohmert was also expected to travel aboard Air Force One with Trump for a campaign fundraising and an energy event at a Midland oil rig. If Gohmert did not know that he tested positive for the virus and went with Trump, then the president and those who are close to him would have been subjected to COVID-19 routine screening.

Gohmert has been seen not wearing a face mask, while inside Capitol Hill. He also attended a high-profile Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, wherein Barr testified for hours.

Last month, Gohmert said he chose not to wear a face mask because he was being tested regularly for the virus.

"I don't have the coronavirus, turns out as of yesterday I've never had it. But if I get it, you'll never see me without a mask," he told a news outlet.

Gohmert is the latest high-ranking official, who tested positive for the virus since the pandemic began, while National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien is the highest-ranking administration member to contract the infectious and deadly COVID-19.
