while celebrities sometimes use their stardom to go into politics, she reached fame as a politician. the 31-year-old is outspoken, uncompromising, and not just navigating the political world but trying to change it. all while love her or hate her, everyone is watching. you re now in your second term in the house. you have 12 million twitter followers, 9 million instagram followers and they all know you by three letters. aoc. so what s it like to be aoc? you know, it s an interesting question because i just feel like i m me. what i really try to be is to be like my neighbors and to be like the folks at the bow dega i get coffee from but there s surreal parts of the experience but i don t feel like that s part of me. i feel like it s part of this really weird world that i ve walked into. how are you feeling? can you put it into words? nope, i cannot put this into words. this was election night in june of 2018. when she stunned everyone including herself. beating congr
good morning to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i m john berman with rhianna keeler. this morning for the first time since february the u.s. is averaging more than 100,000 new covid cases per day. that is the highest it has been an almost 6 months. hospitalizations also continue to rise. more than 66,000 now. the number of deaths is headed in the wrong direction. one out of every five people hospitalized in this country is in florida right now. in jacksonville, six members of one church died within two weeks. and the pastor says 18 to 20 other church members are hospitalized with a virus. on sunday the church held its first vaccination clinic. one florida doctor says children s hospitals in the state are overwhelmed while republican governor ron desantis resists calls to require massive schools. here s how dr. jonathan reiner describe the search. it is so high in florida that i think if florida or another country we would have to consider bannin
is good and i believe that some people on their own once it get as proved as a full approval, will go ahead and get vaccinated. but for those who do not want, i believe mandates at the local level need to be done. joining me now, cnn medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. so dr. fauci calling for vaiccie mandates. i think i want to be clear. people hear vaccine mandates, they think government is going to come in and tell me that i have to get vaccinated or i will go to jail. that is not what we re talking about. we re talking about mandates usually by say an employer or by your school. vaccine mandates at that level. or a state saying our employees have to be vaccinated. this is not a mandate like you have to get car insurance. it is not that kind of mandate. it would work differently. so let s take a look. there are actually three states that have already done mandates, again it is for some groups. it is not for everybody. it might just be for example in new york a state
bill, passed on party lines with no republicans voting for it and two democrats voting against. but a key provision to more than double the minimum wage to $15 an hour is expected to die in the senate. we should note at least a dozen house republicans asked to not vote in person last night. citing the ongoing public health emergency. oddly enough the emergency it turns out was to head to cpac to score points with trump and supporters. and take a look at this. a 6-foot tall golden statue of the former president was rolled into conference site. as we learn more about how trump is weighing the creation of a superpac. who needs words about trump s power over the gop when you can feast your eyes on that? more now on the $$1.9 trillion rerelief bill. arlette saenz is in delaware where president biden is spending the weekend. and president biden is urging the senate to quickly pass the package. yeah, ana, president biden says there is no time to waste as he urges quick work on pas
will be their competitors are back in school. the reason is joe biden is unwilling to fight for us and our children. he s unwilling to give our children an equal footing in a future competitive and dangerous world because it s bead holding to the politics he s beholding to the united federation of teachers. donald trump would have made this fight a non-negotiable one for our children. president biden promised to implement a national strategy to safely open the schools which he has not done. when jen psaki was asked about the status of the chicago schools, the third largest in the nation and the impasse, she demurred, saying the white house was aware of the situation and hopeful they could come teen agreement. there was, however, no commitment to standing up to the teachers union on behalf of our children. if it comes down to a binary choice, who would the president choose, the kids or the teachers. i think it s unfair how you posed that question. judge jeanine: that s p
