MICHIGAN (CBS DETROIT) - Governor Gretchen Whitmer took aim at President Donald Trump's coronavirus response Monday.

In an interview, Whitmer said the President and Federal Government must take more action.

Now that I've got your attention, Mr. President - attack tweets won't solve this crisis. But swift and clear guidance, tests, personal protective equipment, and resources would.
