- At a news conference on Sunday, President Donald Trump said he doesn't "like" Washington state's Gov. Jay Inslee, who is a "failed presidential candidate" and a "nasty person."
- The US's coronavirus outbreak has badly impacted Washington, infecting more than 4,400 people and killing 195, but Trump said he doesn't reach out to Inslee. Instead, he said, "I get Mike Pence to call. I get the head of FEMA to call."
- During the briefing, CNN's Jeremy Diamond read back to the president his past comments about wanting governors to be "appreciative," but Trump took issue with the reporter's phrasing, saying, "That's why CNN is not trusted anymore."
