Wisconsin’s Tammy Baldwin is one of the Democratic Senators sponsoring a bill to increase production and distribution of supplies needed to test for COVID-19.

During a conference call on Wednesday, Baldwin said there has been ‘chaos’ in the medical supply chain, under President Trump’s leadership.

Baldwin, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, and Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut introduced the bill.

Baldwin says the bill is aimed at ‘unlocking’ the Defense Production Act, to increase the amount of medical equipment needed to respond to coronavirus.
