Florida Governor DeSantis visited the White House Tuesday to meet with President Trump regarding the state's COVID-19 response
According to NBC, DeSantis met with Trump in the Oval Office where the president praised his efforts towards flattening the curve in Florida.
President Donald Trump is projecting that coronavirus deaths in the United States could reach 70,000 but says original projections were much higher as he explained why voters should consider re-electing him in November.
Trump has at times this month cited 60,000 as the estimate of how many people would die from COVID-19.
As of Tuesday, there have been over 2,000 confirmed positive cases of the coronavirus, and 59 deaths reported across the First Coast, according to numbers combined from both Georgia and Florida's departments of health.
