'All of us have to do one of the biggest postmortems when the dust settles... We've got to figure out how the heck we got in this spot and make sure we never get in this spot ever again,' New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy says about the coronavirus pandemic.

"On the one hand, I'll leave history to the historians in terms of how we got here," Murphy said.
