New Jersey has been one of the hardest hit states in the country. Democratic Governor Phil Murphy joins AC360 to discuss what he plans to do about schools and universities in his state next fall. Plus, a mystery illness similar to Kawasaki disease that is believed to be related to COVID-19 is now affecting children. Roup Hardowar is the father to 8-year-old, Jayden, who nearly lost his life due to a mysterious illness. Jayden's older brother helped perform CPR on his brother until EMTs arrived.
