One of Trump's biggest and most lone supporters in the African-American community, businessman Herman Kane, died last night of Corona disease.

Kane, CEO of an American pizzeria chain that ran against Utah state senator Mitt Romney in the 2012 primaries, has resigned from the presidential race following complaints of sexual harassment against him.

Kane was diagnosed with covid-19 disease on June 29, and was hospitalized on July 1. It is unclear how Kane contracted Corona, but he was diagnosed nine days after attending a Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Kane was spotted, during the rally, in the company of African American members of the Republican Party wearing no mask. 

Kane was one of the prominent African-American voices in the Republican Party and he advocated traditional and conservative values. He was a member of a Baptist church and was considered devout in his religion. 

 Kane was an ardent supporter of Israel and said during an interview that if he becomes president, his policy will be: "If you get involved with Israel, you get involved with the United States of America."
