California Gov. Gavin Newsom praised President Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic during an interview with CNN on Wednesday.



"I’d be lying to you to say that he hasn’t been responsive to our needs. He has," Newsom told CNN's Jake Tapper. "And so, as a question, as a sort of an offer of objectivity, I have to acknowledge that publicly."



"The fact is, every time I've called the president, he's quickly gotten on the line."
