California Gov. Gavin Newsom and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo have praised President Donald Trump for his efforts to help their states amid the CCP virus pandemic, which has reportedly killed more than 21,000 people in the United States.
Speaking to CNN’s Anderson Cooper on April 10, Newsom said he would “be lying” if he said the president hadn’t done all he could for the Golden State and pointed specifically to Trump’s support in getting the U.S. Navy hospital ship USNS Mercy, which docked in Los Angeles late in March, as well as expanding federal resources.
