Trump: 'Testing is a local thing'
Amid rising tensions with governors, President Donald Trump continued to tout the number of coronavirus tests in the United States, insisting that the issue is being politicized and that the federal government is helping states get the supplies they need.
"Our testing is expanding very rapidly by millions and millions of people," Trump said Sunday night during the coronavirus task force briefing.
In the midst of a dispute between Trump and the governors, who want the federal government to take the lead on expanding testing capacity, Trump dug in: "Testing is a local thing. It's very important. It's great, but it's a local thing."
He also addressed the concerns of governors about the lack of supplies needed for the tests by holding up one of the cotton swabs that is used in the test and comparing it to a Q-tip, while acknowledging that it is more complicated.
