"Pleased to report that the COVID-19 test results came back negative for both Vice President @Mike_Pence and Second Lady @KarenPence," Pence spokeswoman Katie Piller said on Twitter.
Pence earlier Saturday said he would be tested for COVID-19 after a member of his staff tested positive for the virus late Friday.
"He has not been to the White House since Monday. Neither the president nor I had direct contact with that staff person," Pence said at a news conference.
