'Extremely responsive': New Jersey governor praises Trump for coronavirus assistance - Washington Examiner

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy gave the Trump administration a round of applause for helping his state combat the coronavirus.

New Jersey has been one of the states hit hardest by the pandemic, with more than 120,000 confirmed cases and over 7,500 deaths. Murphy, a Democrat, joined Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday and praised President Trump and his team for helping the state.

“Let there be no doubt about it,” he said. “The president knows New Jersey. He and his team have been extremely responsive in our hour of need, whether it was ventilators, as you rightfully point out, we’ve got a huge amount of supplies to test. We’re getting personal protective equipment just the other day, confirmed direct to our nursing homes. We just announced $1.7 billion into our hospital systems.

“Listen, I think we’ve been able to find common ground again based on the science, based on the facts and the reality,” he continued, adding, “I have to thank the president and his team. They have been there for us. And I appreciate that enormously.”

Murphy met with Trump last week in the Oval Office, where he personally thanked him for the assistance.

“I want to again thank the president for an extraordinary spirit of partnership across the whole spectrum of our needs,” Murphy said during the meeting. “I thank you for the enormous help in our darkest hour of need.”

Trump asked the governor, “Phil, how do we do on ventilators as an example?”

He responded, “We got them. I mean, there’s just no other way to put it. And I’m told that we were the No. 1 state recipient of ventilators. You know, we were at the edge, and this is life-or-death stuff, and we got them, and we’re forever thankful for that.”
