Getting this pandemic under control and getting the nation vaccinated ge vaccinated against this virus. Delivering immediate Economic Health badly needed by americans who are hurting today, and then building our economy back better than it ever was. And in doing so, we need to Work Together to give each other a chance to lower the temperature and most of all, we need to stand in solidarity, as fellow americans. Cnns mj lee has more from wilmington, delaware. Reporter the Electoral College in the United States officially voting on monday to declare joe biden the president elect. And biden really seizing that moment to deliver what was really a remarkable speech, talking about how american democracy had been tested this career in ways that we had never seen before, but he also said that even despite the pandemic, even despite some abuses of power that we have seen in this country, that the American Democratic system, could not be extinguished, and it was very clear that the former Vice President wanted to send a clear message to the sitting president , President Trump, essentially saying it is time for us to turn the page and move on. Heres what he said. This battle, for the soul of america, democracy prevailed. We the people voted. Faith in our institutions held. The integrity of our elections remains in tact. And now its time to turn the page as we have done throughout our history. To unite, to heal. Reporter now, of course so much of turning the page will have to do with how the president elect deals with the covid19 pandemic. Something that he talked about in this speech as well. And getting the economy back on track, dealing with the Vaccine Distribution, and also a big part of the challenge for him Going Forward will simply be about politics and this is why we are going to see him travel on tuesday to atlanta, georgia, where he is going to be campaigning for the two democratic canneds who are going to be in Senate Runoff races, the outcome of those races will determine so much of what he can do politically and legislatively with members of Congress Come next year. Back to you. President elects speech was the most forceful condemnation of President Trumps assault on american democracy. This legal maneuver was an effort by elected officials and one group to try to get the Supreme Court to wipe out the votes of 20 million americans in other states and to hand the presidency to a candidate who lost the Electoral College, lost the popular vote, and lost each and every one of the states whose votes they were trying to reverse. Its a position so extreme weve never seen it before. A position that refused to respect the will of the people, refused to respect the rule of law, and refused to honor our institution. The president elect also condemned attacks on state and local election officials, pressured by the president and his supporters to throw out legally cast ballots. It is my sincere hope we never again see anyone subjected to the kinds of threats and abuses we saw in this election. Its simply unconscionable. We owe these Public Servants a debt of gratitude. They didnt seek the spotlight. Can our democracy survive because of them. Still no sign that President Trump will help his supporters accept this reality of his election defeat. Just minutes after the Electoral College formalized the biden victory, the president tried to deploy a distraction, revealing his attorney general bill barr has resigned. Cnns Kaitlan Collins has more. Good morning, christine and laura. This is a process that President Trump has tried to subvert every step of the way since he lost this election to joe biden, but you saw yesterday as the Electoral College did affirm bidens win, he gave a short speech afterward talking about it, and talking about what has gone on with the president and his republican allies desperate effort to try to overturn the result of the election by taking matters like what you saw last week like the Supreme Court and the swift rejection of the lawsuit that the attorney general of texas was trying to make. We are still told by sources that the president does not expect to concede this election, at least certainly not anytime soon, and he has said publicly as well, he plans to continue to fight it, and claims there are more legal steps his team can take, even though if you speak with people close to the president s campaign, and close to the legal team, they believe theyre running out of options after the Supreme Court rej rejection. One tactic, the president may try to pursue over the next few weeks, as we wait for the presidency, and joe biden to be falling rated. That was in part what you saw yesterday as the last states were certifying their notes. President decided to announce that attorney general bill barr was resigning. His last day at the white house would be december 23rd. He said in a resignation he gave to the president. If you looked at the tweet and the letter, you would think its an amicable departure. Sources said the relationship between president and once one of his favorite cabinet members had deteriorated greatly after bill barr under cut claims about voter fraud and more so over the weekend after it was revealed that barr did work to follow doj protocol by stopping that biden investigation from becoming public, something the president criticized him over and said he should have done the opposite. That is not what the president mentioned in his tweet, announcing that bill barr will be stepping down and his Deputy Jeffrey rosen will be taking over as the attorney general just for a few more weeks. Kaitlan, thank you so much. The first doses of the Coronavirus Vaccine have now been delivered to all 50 states, washington, d. C. And puerto rico. Yet thousands of americans are still dying from covid19 every single day. The National Death toll has now surpassed 300,000. Hospitalizations hit another record high overnight. My message to america is the finish line is in sight. The last couple of miles are the hardest but weve got to keep running. Even if you arent worried about covid, your loved one whos in labor may not have a hospital bed. Your loved one whos having a heart attack or gets in a car accident may not have a bed. Health care workers on the front lines of the pandemic were among the first to get their shots yesterday. But it will be several more months before most americans can get one. I had been saying by my calculation, sometime by the end of march, the beginning of april, that the normal healthy man and woman in the street who has no underlying conditions would likely get it. Cnns sara sidner has more on the First Americans to get the vaccine. Reporter this moment could not come soon enough. Icu nurse, Sandra Lindsey is one of the first people in the United States to get the covid19 vaccine outside of a clinical trial. Emergency medicine dr. Eve durasou. Felt great. Didnt feel any different than any vaccination i received in the past. Reporter workers loaded pfizer and biontech vaccine for shipping to medical facilities and hospitals around the country.

Once thawed and added with saline. The really important thing is that we can now see the horizon. We can see how this is going to end. Reporter for michigan medicine to Tampa General Hospital in florida, something to cheer about finally. After a year of devastating loss, more than 300,000 covid deaths in america. To medical staff at ohio state university. 3, 2, 1, vaccinate. Its momentous. I feel honored to receive it. Humbled to receive. It is a really wonderful day. Reporter the complex task of figuring out how to store and ship the vaccine has been underway for months. The vaccine needs to be kept at ultra cold temperatures. Ups and fedex are delivering the vaccine nationwide using a complex package called a thermal shippers. After so many months of uncertainty, theres renewed hope this vaccine can start us down whats to be a long road to recovery. We are exposed to it eveminu of every day. I cant tell you how much this means to me. I feel like a won a Million Dollar lottery getting this vaccine. You can hear in dr. Napolitanos voice, the exhaustion shes feeling and also the immense gratitude and joy for being able to be one of the first to get this vaccine. At the end of the day, she and the other Health Care Workers who got this, all five of them are saying, look, we can help save patients as we always have but this will us save ourselves and our family. Sara sidner, cnn, ann arbor, michigan. The emergency on main street is real. More covid relief is needed, and lawmakers have been going around and around for months with no new help skprn, and now a vow o urgency from Mitch Mcconnell and mccarthy writing in a statement, we hope our democrat counter parts share our sense of urgency. House speaker nancy pelosi, and treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin spoke again on monday, but months long battle lines proving hard to cross. Pelosis office said the gop demands of Liability Protection remain an obstacle. Republicans in the Bipartisan Group said they will only accept state and local aid if paired with Liability Protections.

Andy scholes has this mornings Bleacher Report. Good morning, andy. Good morning, christine. This was as good as it gets. The ravens and browns combining to score 89 points, third most in monday night football history. You know, thats with ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson having to leave this game with cramps but when the ravens back up was injured with two minutes left in the game, jackson reemerges from the locker room, and on 4th and five, jackson rolls out his marquees for a 44 yard touchdown, ravens retake the lead, 4235. Baker mayfield not done. He would lead the browns down the field, get it over to kareem hunt, and he would get to the pylon for the touchdown. Tied again at 42 with a minute left. That was plenty of time for jackson to get the ravens in field goal position, and justin tucker, arguably the best kicker ever, nails the 55 yarder to win it. Ravens tack on a safety in the final second to win an absolute thriller, 4742. All right. Its official the Cleveland Indians will be changing their name, but it wont happen immediately. The teams owner says while they look for a new team name they will continue to use the indians name. In a statement about the change, dolan said hearing firsthand the stories and experiences of native american people, we gained a deep understanding of how triab tribal communities feel about the name and the detrimental effects it has on them.

Thank you so much for that. 36 days until jioe bidens inauguration. Time for three questions in three minutes, that means its time to bring in cnn political analyst, john avlon. Biden last night with his most forceful condemnation of President Trumps assault on american democracy. Listen to a bit of it. Its a position so extreme we have never seen it before. Refused to respect the will of the people, refuse to respect the rule of law, and refuse to honor our constitution. He has quite a balancing act. He has to condemn the behavior of the president and also acknowledge that 70 Million People supported this president , and i guess, you know, his degradation of american democracy. And both things can be possible. Its incredibly important to reach out to trump supporters, the reasonable edge of the opposition. People who live this country, had a different political opinion and its incumbent on a president to unite the nation. We havent seen that in a few years. Its equally important to call out the leadership of the party that has backed this attempt to overturn an election. There are 126 members of congress, 17 attorney generals who put their names to a paper to try to overturn this election. You know, the autocrat caucus, and those folks he should be strong with, because guess what, bullies only respect strength. Those who refused to sign on to it, he should reach out every day. Thats the line hes got to walk. Its possible to do. Leadership matters. Possible to do, but still a huge challenge for sure. Sure. So john, barely ten minutes had passed with the Electoral College formally certifying bidens win last night before the president tweets out that th his attorney general, surprise, has resigned. We knew their relationship had deteriorated for a number of reasons. If youre bill barr, what do you get out of quitting with barely a month left on the job after you had so forcefully defended this president on any number of issues. I think we can get all cut up in questions whether he jumped or whether he was pushed. Lets be clear, barr indicated he would rather stay on, any attorney general would rather stay on and a president would try to keep an attorney general on with 36 days left of his administration. Theres an ornate letter of resignation that has all the herald of a hostage situation. The only question is whether he was asked to do something he could not stomach. He refused to lie for the president after all of the defense he ran for this president , he would not manufacture evidence and that apparently is a firing offense when Donald Trumps in a delusional state. I have to ask you about dc, sometimes the sausage makings makes it crazy. Its clear the constituents are hurting. They have to know that. Why cant they get to something here . I mean, the house passed something way back in may. The republicans left it alone for the summer to see the stimulus in the system, how well it was working. Then there was something on the table for 1. 8 trillion. Whos to blame here . Why cant congress get money into the hands of suffering businesses and people again . Because apparently the suffering is not sufficiently real to them. At the epd of the dnd of the dae passed something months ago. The folks who thought this was going to get better on its own, its not. Folks are having benefits dry up after christmas. You have Small Businesses in bankruptcy. Its on Mitch Mcconnell, he has failed to lead here. Democrats are sparring over whether youre going to split a bill, and in general i favor Bipartisan Solutions because thats how you solve problems in america, and you cant make the perfect the enemy of the good here. It is ironic to see republicans opposing state and local aids when in the past, they have tried to devalue the money to the states. The reality is were heading into the holiday season. We hit 300,000 dead. Do your jobs. Do your jobs, and help someone other than yourself. Its like congressional malpractice, and theres a few times i have seen it, and theres always a cliff. If theres a cliff, a benefits cliff, fiscal cliff, congress will go right to the edge of it. American families have gone over the cliff. Who gets hurt in this one is the small guy, not those on capitol hill. Absolutely. John avlon, appreciate your thoughts, sir.

As we have been discussing all morning, congressional leaders on capitol hill scrambling to get a covid relief bill. The huge Government Spending panel has to be finalized by friday to keep the government open, and there are clear signs that democrats may have to abandon aid to cash strapped states to get the deal done. Cnns manu raju has the latest from washington. Reporter good morning, christine and laura. So many people are waiting to see what happens in congress with rescue package. They have been waiting for months. They have watched partisan bickering essentially stall anything from happening, but we are now headed into the crucial few days where hill leaders have to make a deal to get something through. And their goal is to tie relief provisions on to a must pass funding bill to keep the government open past friday. Now, there are differences between the two sides, significant ones, but they appear to be narrowing, which is good news for so many people awaiting action from washington where it appears, the signs are showing that two provisions, which have been pushed by both sides are unlikely to make it into a final package, Liability Protections that republicans had sought for some time, not likely to be part of the package, state and local aid that democrats have been demanding for months, unlikely to become part of the package but what will be part of the package if theres an ultimate agreement, likely will be some extension of jobless benefits, money for Small Businesses, money for schools, money to help with Vaccine Distribution, of others to extend the vieviction moratoriu until next year. Theres a o lot of consensus on both sides of the ail fsle for that. And more stimulus checks, whether that gets in the ultimate package remains to be seen. President trump has been demanding that, and his chief of staff mark meadows has been lobbying senators and house members to include that in a final package. All of these decisions must be made almost immediately if they want to get this done by friday in order to run the traps through the house and the senate and get it through and avoid a government shut down by midnight on friday. Uncertain if we can get to that point, but its possible if all sides agree and the stars align, they can get to there because so many people are waiting for action. Hope that a deal can be reached. Both sides recognize something needs to be done. Can they finally do it, remains a big question in the final days of the 116th congress. Guys. Thank you for that. And while they dawdle, the Restaurant Industry is in free fall. New york city shut down Indoor Dining for three weeks as coronavirus cases and hospitalizations rise, and some restaurants worry they just wont survive. 10,000 of americas restaurants have closed in the past three months alone. Look at that, 110,000 have permanently closed this year. Imagine all of those workers. In new york, the numbers have been dismal. Last week, even before the ban was put in place, dining in restaurants was down about 70 compared to this time last year, with or without a ban, people just are not going to eat out. The alternatives to Indoor Dining fall short from any restaurants. Delivery services take a cut from each order. Outdoor dining can be expensive to set up and as weather gets colder, fewer people want to eat out doors, and restaurants may have to take down outdoor set ups ahead of winter storms like the one in the east this week. The national Restaurant Industry has urged congress to pass reject any package that doesnt include direct assistance for independent restaurants and bars. This is really urgent.

With cases of covid19 spiking, and hospitals nearing capacity, london is about to impose a new strict lock down. All pubs, cafes, and restaurants will close and travel is also being limited. Salma abdelaziz is live in london. Salma, nice to see you this morning, the whats the latest this morning . Well, laura, after a worrying spike in coronavirus cases, an increase in hospitalizations here in the city and in the surrounding areas, the government now says this city has to go into englands highest level coronavirus restrictions. Starting wednesday morning london will be under tier 3 rules, and there will with new measures to curb peoples social behavior, pubs, restaurants night life will be closed down. Households are banned from mixing together but heres the catch, of course right now, Central London streets are packed because of chris htmas shopping. All nonessentially shops can remain open and crucially schools as well, where theres also been a spike in coronavirus cases. What raised the most surprises yesterday during the health secretarys announcement was the detail of a new variant of coronavirus which he says may be to blame for a spread. I know this sounds scary, a variant of coronavirus but health experts, scientists all agree this is nothing to worry about. Its entirely normal for the vaccine to mutate and change. Its no different here, and theres no evidence that this variant is more deadly that it spreads faster or that it is immune to the vaccine. A lot of allaying fears in london as we head into tougher new restrictions. Certainly important to clear that up. Thank you so much for your reporting as usual. 51 minutes past the hour.
