that during the call, Sen. Angus King, an independent from Maine who caucuses with the Democrats, dubbed the administration's bid to implement a national testing regime as a"dereliction of duty."On Thursday, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said his state, which is among the hardest hit, was"1,000 miles away" from having enough tests, according to The Hill.
He told reporters at Friday's press conference that"we will have and there will be enough tests to allow us to take this country through phase one."
