Cornyn Joins Cruz, Calls On Trump Admin To Continue Supporting COVID Testing Sites
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) on Wednesday echoed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in calling for the Trump administration to extend federal support for several coronavirus testing centers in Texas.
TPM broke the news Tuesday that the administration would end support for 13 testing centers across the country, including seven in Texas, where new COVID cases are spiking.
I know theres concern, concern I share, over some of the statements being made about withdrawing federal support for coronavirus testing in Texas at the end of June, Cornyn said in a statement.
Its pretty clear to me, and I think its clear to all of us, that with the uptick of cases, now is not a time to retreat from our vigilance in testing, he added. I believe that they need to extend that federal support in Texas, at least until we get this most recent uptick in cases addressed.
