Herman Cain, the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza who jumped into politics and ran for president three times, has died after battling COVID-19 for nearly a month. He was 74.

Cain’s death was announced Thursday on his website, hermancain.com, by Dan Calabrese, who edits the site. “Herman Cain – our boss, our friend, like a father to so many of us – has passed away,” Calabrese said in a blog post. “We all prayed so hard every day. We knew the time would come when the Lord would call him home, but we really liked having him here with us, and we held out hope he’d have a full recovery.”
