There’s been continuous back and forth over how to combat coronavirus in the U.S. Reporter adamcancryn breaks down how the Trump administration has been responding as the virus spreads across the country.
If President Donald Trump insists on reopening parts of America as soon as next week, he'll likely encounter bipartisan resistance from governors who are partnering in regional alliances to keep the coronavirus at bay.
“We will combat this virus by working together and remaining consistent across our borders,” said Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who tangled with Trump in a Twitter fight this week, said the president is looking at the stock market, not science. "What we do affects our neighbors and what our neighbors do affects us," Burgum said. "Because we are all part of one economic system."
That view isn’t shared by Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds, who said Friday that “we’re different here in Iowa than they are in New York.”
