Governor Kim Reynolds (R-IA) was at the White House Wednesday meeting with President Donald Trump. The conversation focusing on Iowa's response to the coronavirus and its reopening.

"This is an opportunity for me to say thank you for the incredible partnership that we've had throughout this pandemic," said Reynolds.

The governor gives partial credit to the Trump administration for her state's ability to scale up testing, which she says is allowing her to open up parts of Iowa's previously shuttered economy. The reopening comes despite increases in cases and deaths in the state.

"I didn't rip off the bandaid, I didn't flip a light switch. We've done it in a very responsible safe manner," said Reynolds.
