Relationship with Donald Trump:

The recent coronavirus outbreak has stunned the USA. As, more than 215,215 cases have registered as positive and among them, 5,110 have already lost their life. In New Mexico, the cases are increasing slowly and nearly 363 people have been tested positive with 6 deaths which were very recent. Michelle Grisham looks very worried as the testing kits, as well as other equipment, have not been provided in many tribal states like New Mexico.
