New Jersey Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy is giving President Trump credit where it’s due. In a recent interview with Fox News’s, Bret Baier Gov. Murphy praised the Trump administration’s quick work to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. Recent reports from multiple drug companies have shown the vaccines to be over 90% effective in trials. Now, the companies have filed for emergency use from the FDA with the hope to begin distribution in the coming weeks.

“I do, period,” he told Baier. “I was on privately with Vice President Pence just before Thanksgiving and said so. We’re on calls regularly with the White House. We’ve got one tomorrow. In addition to Secretary Azar, you’ve got the likes of Tony Fauci, General Gus Perna, New Jersey’s own, whose overseeing the distribution. Stephen Hahn, others. I also give the private sector players a lot of credit and I give decades of investment in public health a lot of credit.”

This is not the first time Murphy, a Democrat, has praised the Trump administration over its efforts in combatting the Wuhan coronavirus.

“I have to thank the president and his team,” the governor said at the time.

“The president knows New Jersey,” he added. “He and his team have been extremely responsive in our hour of need, whether it was ventilators, as you rightfully point out, we’ve got a huge amount of supplies to test. We’re getting personal protective equipment just the other day, confirmed direct to our nursing homes. We just announced $1.7 billion into our hospital systems.”

Governor Murphy’s praise for the President comes after he recently increased restrictions in New Jersey due to recent Coronavirus spikes, prompting criticism from constituents. In the same interview with Baier, Gov. Murphy said he is keeping the possibility of a second lockdown on the table despite warnings from WHO.
