Governors push unity in COVID response: Not going to let ‘presidents of a different party stand in the way'

A bipartisan group of governors sought to set the record straight Saturday, telling reporters during a National Governors Association event in Washington, D.C., that political leanings would not affect their resolve to squash the coronavirus pandemic. 

Hutchinson said governors across the U.S. have "genuine heart in standing together" to address the deadly virus that has infected more than 73.5 million Americans and killed over 870,000 since the pandemic began, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
