Few governors — who ran for office to tackle their state's tough issues — ever considered a widespread nationwide pandemic would be possibly the biggest test of their careers. Here's a look at some of the steps they have taken to tackle the coronavirus:
Some have taken drastic measures to slow the virus, from ordering their residents to stay home to fully shutting down primaries. Others, though, taken more time to make drastic measure, resisting them, in part, because of the impact they could have on their state's economy.Those that have been widely seen as the most successful are those with lengthy state and federal government experience, like Ohio's Mike DeWine, New York's Andrew Cuomo and Washington's Jay Inslee.
Inslee, unlike other governors, has not ordered a"shelter in place." But he has slowly built on the strictness of his orders over the last few weeks."Covid is expanding in our state, we're concerned about that and we're making decisions as best we can on a daily basis," Inslee said on Wednesday, adding that he would avoid trying to speculate on what the state may do.
