New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo is throwing a bit of a wrench into the talking points by Democrats against President Donald Trump.
One of the continuing attacks both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Joe Biden, the Democrats’ presumptive nominee for president, have been slinging is that Trump hasn’t invoked the Defense Production Act (DPA) and/or that he hasn’t been using it effectively.
