On Sunday, mayors from two large cities dealing with surges in new coronavirus cases and deaths decried President Donald Trumps response to the pandemic. With numbers continuing to rise, the U.S. has recorded more than 2.8 million cases and nearly 130,000 deaths due to coronavirus.

Trump, who last week said he thinks the virus will just disappear, has publicly undermined his own health officials fighting the virus. Until this month, he rejected the use of masks; in May, his administration shelved a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advising states how to reopen safely; and in June, he told attendees at a rally that he asked officials in his administration to slow the testing down.

During ABCs This Week on Sunday, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said her city, which is averaging the countrys highest number of new coronavirus cases per capita, is receiving no help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, even after asking for assistance.

This is many months in, Gallego said of the crisis. Weve asked FEMA if they could come and do community-based testing here. We were told theyre moving away from that, which feels like theyre declaring victory while were still in crisis mode.
