Can someone explain why the White House and "Republican leaders" resisted including $ for expanding testing? Was this just a negotiating ploy, or was there some at least semi-legitimate basis for it?

The only argument I could find was that Republican senators were arguing that testing should be a state and private industry affair instead of federal.
