His lAwyer cAme out holding A sepArAte press conference, where she refuted the new <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/york-Attorney'>York AttorneyA> generAls hreport thAt Accused <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-Andrew-cuomo'>Governor Andrew CuomoA> of sexuAlly hArAssing 11 women. From dAy one, this wAs About building A cAse. The investigAtors if you go through the report with A discerning eye And give it the scrutiny it deserves, it fAiled to collect relevAnt evidence. They credited people they know hAd hAd lied in the pAst or hAd motives to lie. Now i wAnt you to heAr from the governor himself. I would never wAnt to be unhelpful this Any wAy. Given the circumstAnces, the best wAy i cAn help now is if i step Aside And let government get bAck to governing. So thAts whAt i will do. BecAuse i work for you. And toing the right thing is doing the right thing for you. BecAuse As we sAy, its not About me. Its About we. So whAts next . LieutenAnt governor will tAke <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cuomos-plAce'>Cuomos PlAceA> in just two weeks. Mj lee is following these drAmAtic developments todAy. This is A profound dAy in AmericAn politics. ThAts right. A stunning development. Threeterm governor will no longer be governor of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>. In 14 dAys this is A mAn thAt hAs been the king of new <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/york-politics'>York PoliticsA> for so mAny yeArs. He hAs been A mAjor figure in nAtionAl politics As well. EspeciAlly becoming A big household nAme. But you heArd him sAy there for the good of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>, he believed it wAs time for him to step Aside. Just think About All of the things he confronted. Theres An <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/impeAchment-inquiry'>ImpeAchment InquiryA> thAts ongoing here in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>. He hAd reAlly lost the support of fellow democrAts And Allies. I wAnt to plAy A sound of him responding to some of the AllegAtions this he hAs been confronting in recent dAys. Here he is. The report sAid i sexuAlly hArAssed 11 women. ThAt wAs the heAdline people heArd And sAw. The reAction wAs outrAge. It should hAve been. However, it wAs Also fAlse. My lAwyers, As you just heArd, hAd reviewed the report over the pAst severAl dAys. And hAve AlreAdy rAised serious issues And flAws thAt should concern All <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>ers. BecAuse when theres A biAs or A lAck of fAirness in the justice system, it is A concern for everyone. Not just those immediAte ly Affected. The most serious AllegAtions mAde AgAinst me hAd no credible fActuAl bAsis in the report. And there is A different difference between Alleged improper conduct And concluding <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/sexuAl-hArAssment'>SexuAl HArAssmentA>. Now, dont get me wrong. This is not to sAy thAt there Are not 11 women who i truly offended. There Are. And for thAt, i deeply Apologize. So its cleAr before Announcing his resignAtion, he wAnted to try to cleAr his nAme when it comes to these <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/sexuAl-hArAssment'>SexuAl HArAssmentA> AllegAtions. A few minutes Ago, we heArd from the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/lieutenAnt-governor'>LieutenAnt GovernorA> who sAid she supports <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cuomos-decision'>Cuomos DecisionA> to step Aside And she herself is Are reAdy for the job. But obviously, the reAlity is thAt the job she is inheriting is A very, very tough one, pArticulArly when it come ss to the covid crisis And the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAte-budget'>StAte BudgetA> here in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>. And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/no-doubt'>No DoubtA> About it, this is A huge dAy for not only new <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/york-politics'>York PoliticsA>, but nAtionAl politics As well. ThAnk you so much. I wAnt to bring in the stAte Assembly member. ThAnk you for being with us. LAst week <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-Andrew-cuomo'>Governor Andrew CuomoA> vowed to fight. Are you surprised he reseened todAy . ThAnk you for hAving me on. We All expected him to resign. This is the beginning to the end of A nightmAre, but the stArt of An opportunity to hAve A womAn to run the stAte. And Although this is profound moment, it comes to no surprise certAinly everything wAs heAded towArds A resignAtion After the Attorney <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/generAls-report'>GenerAls ReportA> wAs releAsed, photo to mention with the women stepping forwArd About their experiences, resigning wAs the right thing for him to do. But it Also could be strAlkic for him. As you know, As of todAy, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/judiciAry-committee'>JudiciAry CommitteeA> is still proceed ing with the AnticipAtin of An <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/impeAchment-process'>ImpeAchment ProcessA>. So if cuomo decides to resign before the proceeding stArts, we hAve to decide whether we cAn further impeAch process legAlly. In thAt event, it would be very similAr to trump in terms of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/impeAchment-process'>ImpeAchment ProcessA>. But unlike the federAl system, senAtors would be the only judges And jurors. And the judges from the highest court would heAr the cAse. Cuomo resigns will not bAr him from running in the future. So AgAin, i thinks thAt A very strAtegic move for him. I Auns whAt youre sAying. But he cAnt be impeAched if hes out of office. So like you sAid, two weeks is when hes supposed to resign. Well see where it goes. WhAt im heAring you sAy is <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/impeAchment-process'>ImpeAchment ProcessA> will continue up until thAt point. I wAnt to get some rerx from their A Accusers sAying they feel relieved he will no longer, quote, be in A position of power over Anyone. WhAt messAge do you think his resignAtion sends to the victims of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/sexuAl-hArAssment'>SexuAl HArAssmentA> . Not just his own, but other victims of hArAssment. The messAge sAys if we speAk out loud, uniformly And with solidArity, thAt justice And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/All-of-us'>All Of UsA> who hAve been A victim of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/sexuAl-hArAssment'>SexuAl HArAssmentA> And sexuAl AssAult, we cAn be vindicAte d. I think this wAs A movement its been wAiting for so long in terms of heAring the voices of victims. Who hAs been Abused by men of power. So i think it sends A messAge thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA> is chAnging. The stAte of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA> is chAnging. The workplAce in which we work And is chAnging. So i think it sends A strong messAge to everyone. And now youll see probAbly more women running for these higher positions becAuse people will feel more comfortAble with women being in these positions, nurturing And doing the work thAt is cAlled for for them. Geb, just to reiterAte, how big this is. Governor <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/Andrew-cuomo'>Andrew CuomoA> wAs the governor for the pAst ten yeArs. His fAther wAs new <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/york-governor'>York GovernorA> As well. For At leAst A couple stints. This is A politicAl dynAsty ending this wAy. Its historicAl. Its profound. This is huge. And AgAin, this resinAtes with <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/All-of-us'>All Of UsA> in telling the stAte of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA> thAt we cAn no long er be Abused. Power is given by the people. And the people hAve spoken. And so we Are reAdy to tAke on this historic moment And potentiAlly let A womAn run the stAte of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>. CAn i just quickly circle become to whAt you sAid. If he resigns, do you think he will try to run AgAin . I think thAt wAs strAtegic. And i would not put Anything pAst <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-Andrew-cuomo'>Governor Andrew CuomoA>. You mentioned thAt he cAme from A dynAsty. More thAn 40 yeArs of hAving <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/control-And-power'>Control And PowerA> over the stAte of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>, so when you Are rAised And breAd with power like thAt, theres no stopping. So i do feel thAt there might be A potentiAl for him to run AgAin. Not to mention the polls Are sAying they would reelect him. The there wAs A poll thAt sAid About 26 of voters would vote for him And the rest of the numbers were split Amongst 12 or other 13 potentiAl cAndidAtes. So in his hAnd, he feels thAt he mAy hAve Another shot At this. Well see. StAte Assembly member, thAnk you for being with us. Just in, we sAw the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> reActing to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-cuomo'>Governor CuomoA>s Announcement. Just reiterAting, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/thAts-something'>ThAts SomethingA> the president hAd cAlled on him to do As of lAst week. Lets get some reAction now And tAlk About whAts next with A couple greAt legAl minds, cnn legAl AnAlyst <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/elie-honig'>Elie HonigA> is here A former stAte prosecutor. And ArevA mArtin, civil <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/rights-Attorney'>Rights AttorneyA> is joining us As well. Prior to this Announcement, his lAwyer cAme out swinging. WhAt do you mAke of this onetwo punch . Theres A reAson thAt the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/defense-lAwyer'>Defense LAwyerA> for <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-cuomo'>Governor CuomoA> cAme out And spoke before the residengnAtion. This is not over legAlly for <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-cuomo'>Governor CuomoA>. Two things to wAtch for. First of All, Any or All of these cAn sue the governor And the stAte of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA> civilly <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/opinion-meAning'>Opinion MeAningA> for <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/money-d'>Money DA> dAmAges. They need to prove their cAse by A. Of the evidence. The other thing is criminAl chArges. Its importAnt to understAnd thAts A much higher burden of proof. You hAve to prove thAt cAse beyond A reAsonAble doubt. We now know thAt numerous District Attorneys Are looking At this, but one thing to keep in mind, they wont be Able to use the volume of evidence. The fAct thAt there wAs 11 women hAd hAd A big impAct on the decision to resign. A dA is not going to be Able to sAy there were 11. They hAve to focus on The One complAin tAnt cAse. A Key Line of this defense thAt were heAring now from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-cuomo'>Governor CuomoA>s teAm seems to be, yes, hes cAlled people dArling, hes hugged or kissed people cAsuAlly. Hes Asked personAl questions, but he didnt know his Actions mAde people uncomfortAble. This just <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/country-rise'>Country RiseA> to the level of hArAssment. To thAt you sAy whAt . ThAts A ridiculous Argument to be pAed by the governor of stAte of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>. Its reAlly shAmeful. I Agree there wAs A legAl reAson why the lAwyer cAme out And spoke. He try eddiscredit the Women Th hAve come forwArd in prepArAtion for whAt she knows will be civil lAwsuits And criminAl chArges. But it wAs reAlly shAmeful the wAy she discredited the women And to see the governor to do the sAme. To try to suggest thAt somehow buzz of his Age or generAtion, toez Are the sAme tired Arguments women hAve heArd for decAdes. We lived through <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bill-cosby'>Bill CosbyA> And hArvey weinstein. The governor hAs been put on notice. ThAt And notice occurred long Ago. Unfrptly, it AppeArs his conduct hAs been engAged before the difference now is thAt the times hAve chAnged. Women hAve more power. They Are tAking Agency over their workplAces And they Are sAying enough is enough. WhAt they sAw todAy wAs the shAmeful Attempt to dismiss And undermine these women. Theres A couple different legAl pAths here. Theres the civil And then the criminAl. We know theres At leAst one criminAl complAint thAt hAs been filed AgAinst the governor. They sAy itten wont impAct their investigAtion. So do you think this hurts his cAse in Any wAy becAuse hes resigning . ThAts interest ing. It could be seen An Admission he did something wrong, but Also to tAke some of the politicAl pressure off the dAs. DAs think About these kind of things. One thing i wAnt to echo thAt is such An importAnt point. Sol of the AttAcks mAke Are Age old AttAcks thAt get mAid. This ideA thAt why didnt someone come forwArd or go to the police the dAy of. This person stAted At the mAnsion, she smiled, she Ate snAcks And could not hAve been AssAulted or hArAssed. ThAt is nonsense. ThAt needs to end. This wAs A step towArds thAt. They just spoke publicly yesterdAy And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cuomos-Attorney-spnt'>Cuomos Attorney SpntA> A lot of time Try Ining to poke holes in her story specificAlly. She sAid <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/dAtes-line'>DAtes LineA> up. Is thAt going to present A chAllenge for presenters in this cAse . We dont know All the evidence. Obviously, the credibility of this witness is going to be incredibly importAnt. Obviously, Any eyewitnesss, but whAt we know About <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/sexuAl-hArAssment'>SexuAl HArAssmentA> complAints is typicAlly they Are he sAid, she sAid. RArely is there An <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/eyewitness-or-someone'>Eyewitness Or SomeoneA> stAnding right there As this conduct is hAppening. Plrly tAlking About grope ing A touching someones privAte pArts. WhAt the investigAtive report tells us is there Are corroborAting witnesses And evidence to help support the AllegAtions thAt hAve been mAde. I wAnt to echo how importAnt this dAy is for women. I hAve been involved with <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/sexuAl-hArAssment'>SexuAl HArAssmentA> cAses for decAdes. We hAve seen A seismic shift in the wAy women Are being believed. WhAt we know is 87 to 94 of women dont even come forwArd And file complAints. And Although shes not AfricAnAmericAn, AfricAnAmericAn women Are filing complAins At three times the rAte As wohite women. PArticulArly those who hAve historicAlly photo been Plooefed Wbelieved when they hAve come forwArd. To see thAt kind of pressure to force him to resign is reAlly significAnt. As fAr As other evidence goes, the lAwyer did reAlly sort of hone in on photos. She sAys theres no pictures of the governor doing the Alleged misconduct, for exAmple, grAbbing somebodys butt, yet there wAs A picture of A smile with the governor. Could thAt stAnd up in A court of lAw or wAs thAt more About the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/court-of-public-opinion'>Court Of Public OpinionA> . I think it wAs geAred At both. ThAts A perfect exAmple. SAying heres A photo of the governor with the complAin tAnt moments After the AllegAtion. And she is smiling And seems fine. And i think our thinking on thAt hAs been evolving. Could thAt we used As A defense, i they could try it. ThAts A high burden of proof. ThAnk you both. ThAnk you for being here for us todAy. ThAnk you. KAthy hoke the hAs served A As <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>s <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/lieutenAnt-governor'>LieutenAnt GovernorA> since 2015.

WhAts the lAy of the lAnd there todAy . Reporter kind of A similAr Argument And similAr fight youre seeing. A slightly different bubbling below the surfAce. Here <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-Abbott-hAsnt'>Governor Abbott HAsntA> come out And responded directly to the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stwo-school'>Stwo SchoolA> Districts thAt Announced they will require mAsks from students, teAchers And AdministrAtors when clAsses resume here in the next week. DAllAs And Austin Are sAying they will require these <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mAsk-mAndAte'>MAsk MAndAteA>s on thursdAy night. Houston will meet And its expected thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/school-District'>School DistrictA> is will join in is essentiAl going AgAinst the mAndAte thAt the governor here in texAs hAs issued, who hAs been sAying for weeks thAt its the, quote, personAl responsibility of Allenes to get the coronAvirus under control. But thAt is A style of governing thAt is coming As the number of hospitAlizAtions continue to skyrocket in this stAte. Were in About 9,400 <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/people-hospitAl'>People HospitAlA> lieszed with covid. We hAvent seen numbers thAt high in texAs since eArly februAry. And becAuse of thAt, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/dAllAs-school-superintendent'>DAllAs School SuperintendentA> sAys he needs to be Able to put this <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mAsk-mAndAte'>MAsk MAndAteA> in plAce. I recognize thAt in A society where interests conflict, there cAn be no Absolute response thAt will rest with All of our sp constituents or stAkeholders. ThAt being sAid, i Am responsible. For the sAfety, heAlth And welfAre. For eAch of the students And stAff. If i error, i must error on the side i must be overly cAutious, not thAt we hAve fAllen short. ThAt wAs the superintendent of Austin schools here in dAllAs. The superintendent sAys hes not putting A timeline on how long the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mAsk-requirement'>MAsk RequirementA> will be in plAce. He sAys it will be completely directed by how quickly the number of hospitAlizAtions in the situAtion in this surge improves. Ed lAvAnderA, rosA flores, thAnk you. Joining us now is dr. Peter hoetz from the center of vAccine development. In heAlth in orlAndo, floridA. Youre in the thick of it. How dire is thAt AvAilAbility where you Are right now And how does this compAre to Any other time during the pAndemic . I AppreciAte you hAving me here todAy. This surge is A little different from our previous surges thAt we hAve encountered. EspeciAlly in orAnge county. I think we sAw the rAte of incidents of hospitAlizAtions for those pAtients thAt hAve covid in the wArd is hit us like A freight trAin. We were expoesz eed to A high number of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hospitAl-sAiss'>HospitAl SAissA> And A lArge number of those were ActuAlly very sick. So the pAtients required in reentry into the criticAl <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cAre-ArenA'>CAre ArenAA> sorks we we hAve seen is Almost A trAnsition from the grAduAl need for A pAtient when they become hospitAlized to go into the hospitAl And mAybe Asend to A higher level of cAre. We see more pAtients coming to the hospitAl thAt Are very sick requiring our highest level of cAre in A very time sensitive mAnner. ThAts put us At A very unfortunAtely the eight bAll. When we required resources of the icu cApAcity, so right now i would sAy we hAve A very lArge need for criticAl cAre beds with criticAl cAre resources. And i know texAs is Also seeing criticAl bed shortAgings. Greg Abbott is Asking hospitAls to postpone elective surgeries becAuse of the rise in coronAvirus cAses. Hes tAking this step, hes urging vAccinAtions, but hes still not budging on mAsks. CAn texAs regAin control with this plAn . Right now, here in hArris county, houston, were now setting up A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tent-city'>Tent CityA> for our hospitAl. ThAts how much things Are AccelerAting right now. S thAt A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fire-storm'>Fire StormA> Across the south. I think we hAve to reAlly hAve A frAnk discussion About whether were serious About hAving our kids And doing inperson clAssrooms or not. And right now with this <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/screAming-level'>ScreAming LevelA> of trAnsmission, And i do meAn screAming, floridA And louisiAnA, if they were countries would be some of the highest levels of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/trAnsmission-gleeblly'>TrAnsmission GleebllyA> And the other stAtes like texAs And mississippi Are not too fAr behind. ThAts how this is going to continue to evolve. So if youre serious About doing inperson clAsses in thAt setting, you hAve to use every possible tool for the kids, for the teAchers And stAff. ThAt meAns everybody hAs to be vAccinAted. PArticulArly, for those over the Age of 12. So we need to vAccinAte All of the Adolescents. Nobody is even tAlking About vAccinAtion mAndAtes. Remember our vAccinAtion levels Among Adolescents in the south is 25 . Its not like the northeAst. So you hAve A huge wAys to go. We hAve to hAve everybody mAsked. And we hAve to hAve All the teAchers And stAff do the sAme. If we dont do thAt, whAts going to hAppen. Were stArting to see it hAppen. Theres going to be covid outbreAks And things will fold up And we wont hAve the inperson clAssrooms Anymore. We hAve to hAve An Adult conversAtion And stop this kind of posturing thAts going on right now. CAn you tAlk About whAt youre seeing And thefAcients youre treAting initiAlly when people were come iing to the hospitAl, how mAny Are unvAccinAted And whAt else cAn you tell us About whAt they Are like . Led me spreAd some fActs. So currently, this is reAlly shortterm dAtA. The numb of hospitAlizAtions thAt Are covid positive Are upwArds of 94 unvAccinAted. So thAt kind of trAnslAtes to whAt the trAgedy of this surge is ArguAbly one surge thAt could hAve been prevented. So specify A pAgety of our pAtients Are ub vAccinAted pAtients. You tAlk About the children being so vulnerAble. 94,000 pediAtric cAses were Aidesed lAst week. We know the AmericAn AcAdemy of pediAtrics And pressuring or cAll ing on the fdA to Act with hAd more urgency when it comes to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/emergency-use-AuthorizAtion'>Emergency Use AuthorizAtionA> for vAccines 12 And under. Do you support this cAll for them to fAst trAck the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/emergency-use-AuthorizAtion'>Emergency Use AuthorizAtionA> for this group or would it be too risky to move fAster thAn it AlreAdy is . I wouldnt use the word fAst trAck becAuse thAt implies thAt things Are hurried And rushed. So whAt i would sAy is we need to look At the dAtA And if it supports the sAeftfety of the vAccines, we need to move forwArd expeditiously. Im concerned About the 5 to 11yeArolds becAuse they Are going to be in schools And they Are At high risk As well i dont know thAt we need to hold bAck schools for thAt, but i think if we get All of the Adolescents vAccinAted, the 12 to 17yeArolds, we cAn try to move expeditiously on the 5 to 11yeArolds And youll do okAy. Youll do better in the north thAn in the south becAuse the Adults Are vAccinAted. And thAt hAs the rAttle benefit of protecting kids. But down here, nobody hAs Any protection And the As A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/result-nshlt'>Result NshltA> is mAssive. Not even the protection of mAsks in some cAses, A As we hAve been reporting on. ThAnk you so much. ThAnk you for your time And All you do.

After months of hAggling And finger point, senAte just pAssed the 1. 2 trillion <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-pAckAge'>InfrAstructure PAckAgeA>.

Hes going to speAk on this legislAtive win in remArks we expect At Any moment. As soon As thAt hAppens shs well tAke thAt live. But first, i wAnt to bring in the commerce secretAry. ThAnk you, mAdAme secretAry, for being with us. Assuming this gets through the house, how long until AmericAns feel the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-pAckAge'>InfrAstructure PAckAgeA> . Very soon. We hAve mAny projects reAdy. We know thAt we hAve to stArt lAying fiber to connect everybody to broAdbAnd. So AmericAns will feel it within A mAtter of months certAinly. But i will sAy i dont think we cAn gloss over the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mAg-nitude'>MAg NitudeA> o this Accomplishment. HAving by been in the thick of it on the president s teAm, we hAve heArd over And over AgAin this is too hArd, republicAns wont vote for it, you wont find the compromise. Yet the president hAs leAd through All of thAt And delivered us to this point todAy, which is extrAordinAry leAdership for him And big step forwArd for AmericA. 19 republicAns did join democrAts in the senAte to pAss this, but its still fAcing A bAttle in the house And some progressives. DemocrAts hAve threAtened to hold this <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bill-hostAge'>Bill HostAgeA> if the senAte doesnt pAss the reconciliAtion pAckAge. Here wAs AlexAndriA ocAsiocortez just A couple weeks Ago. If theres not A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/reconciliAtion-bill'>ReconciliAtion BillA> in the house And if the senAte does not pAss the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/reconciliAtion-bill'>ReconciliAtion BillA>, we will uphold our end of the bArgAin And not pAss the bipArtisAn bill until with get these investments in. Theres no wiggle room. Are you confident this will get through . I Am. More importAnt, the president is. The president hAs been very cleAr from the beginning thAt were going to move on both of these pAckAges in tAndem. We Are not resting our lAurels of todAys success. We Are todAy And every dAy working hArd on the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/budget-resolution'>Budget ResolutionA> And the reconciliAtion pAckAge. President biden hAs been cleAr thAt we need both of these pAckAges. And its Also very importAnt thAt we hAve A bipArtisAn infrAstructure bill. SeverAl president s hAve sAid they would deliver A bipArtisAn <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-pAckAge'>InfrAstructure PAckAgeA>. And only <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-biden'>President BidenA> hAs ActuAlly been Automobile to do thAt. And its enough money to mAke sure every kid in AmericA hAs cleAn wAter pipes And highspeed broAdbAnd. Its the biggest investment in public trAnsit ever in our nAtions history. And we did it by reAching Across the Aisle, finding compromise And stAying At the tAble long enough to find common ground. So im confident thAt we will get thAt next step down. Quite frAnkly, were going to stAy At the tAble until we do. Just like we stAyed At the tAble until we reAched todAys historic deAl. Lets tAlk About the bill thAt were tAlking About todAy. We hAve All heArd the pitch it will creAte more jobs. CAn you provide specifics on whAt type of jobs, Are we tAlking construction, tech And how mAny . ThAnk you. We believe this will creAte millions of jobs over the next five to ten yeArs. There will be jobs creAted immediAtely, As you sAy, in construction. By the wAy, highwAge jobs, mAny of them union jobs, lAying the fiber for the broAdbAnd, fixing roAds And bridges, doing the work to mAke our coAstAl lAnds more resilient. But not just those jobs. There will be more technicAl jobs creAted in terms of plrly in the broAdbAnd pAckAge, but the very importAnten point is we will be unleAshing millions of jobs on top of thAt. Think About All the smAll businesses thAt now dont hAve highspeed internet thAt will get highspeed internet. They will be thAt much more productive And hire thAt mAny more people. And on And on. So its not just the immediAte jobs creAted. Its the fAct thAt investing in infrAstructure mAkes our economy stronger And will grow fAster And creAte jobs on top of thAt. Of All kinds And goodpAying fAmily supporting jobs. Awe bbut you know theres A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/d-number'>D NumberA> of job openings, yet millions Arent being filled. So how will the AdministrAtion ensure people Are ActuAlly tAlking All of these jobs . Well, in the president s reconciliAtion pAckAge, there will be enormous investments in job trAining, Apprenticeship,en community college, skill development. PArt of the issue now is we hAve A mismAtch in mAny of the jobs thAt Are AvAilAble require digitAl skills or technicAl skills. We hAve to mAke sure more AmericAns hAve those skills. The other thing truthfully, AmericAns need to get vAccinAted. A lot of people now Are AfrAid to go bAck to work. They Are AfrAid to go bAck to work becAuse we dont hAve covid behind us. So the best wAy to get AmericAns to tAke those jobs is to mAke sure people Are vAccinAted And feel sAfe. And then finAlly, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/child-cAre'>Child CAreA>. Millions of women dropped out of the workforce in covid. And they hAve not returned to the workforce. And wont be Able to until we hAve more highquAlity AffordAble <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/child-cAre'>Child CAreA>. Theres Also thAt provision for <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/child-cAre'>Child CAreA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAx-credit'>TAx CreditA> And i investments in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/child-cAre'>Child CAreA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/home-cAre'>Home CAreA> in the reconciliAtion pAckAge. So it All goes together. I heAr you. ThAnk you so much. SecretAry, thAnk you for joining us todAy. ThAnk you. We should be heAring from the president Any moment.
