Political fights are raging among state leaders from Iowa to Pennsylvania over the handling of the pandemic’s impact.

President Donald Trump is relying on state GOP headquarters for his operations, though they too have been largely empty.

Kim Reynolds announced that 138 people had tested positive for the virus and one person has died with the virus in Black Hawk County.”
