york's andrew cuomo... >> i don't even know what that-- what that means. i don't know how that could be legally enforceable. >> reporter: ...and new jersey's phil murphy. >> nothing on quarantine came up. i literally saw the story as i was walking into this room. >> reporter: the move comes as the president has increasingly sparred with some of the nation's governors, including michigan's gretchen whitmer, tweeting she doesn't have a clue and even suggest the vice president don't call her or other governors who don't appreciate the federal response. >> i think, really, most of the governors are very appreciative. >> reporter: the president approved a disaster declaration for michigan, freeing up more money for the state. governor whitmer said she had a good call with the vice president and will keep working with the white house. doug? >> dunbar: nikole, with the president signing that $2.2
