'New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is expected to take the reins of the National Governors Association

on Wednesday during a meeting held virtually because of the disease.

Cuomo, who was tapped for the position in 2018, said governors who’ve shouldered the brunt of responding to COVID-19 will unite to prepare for the next virus and control a pandemic still taking the lives of thousands.

The new chair said governors will push for a federally funded infrastructure plan, while asking for “unprecedented testing capacity” and stockpiles of protective gear, supplies and medicine. He said governors would help each other safely revitalize economies and schools and fix beleaguered public health systems.'

don't know how many Republican governors will take part, but Cuomo speaks in such a way, they might learn something they'd rather not know.
