out maneuvered. republicans are fuming over the border bill crumbling before our eyes. the democrats claiming that they re the ones who can actually fix the border. plus, a quote scab and an insurrectionist. those are the words of a top teamster executive who refused to meet with trump today. and a major military shake up. sources say ukraine s top general is out and tonight, we hear exclusively from the man who may replace him. let s go outfront. and good evening. i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, out maneuvered. that is how republican senator is describing what is happening to his party on the border bill that right now, is essentially dead on arrival in the house. a border bill that would affect this entire country. democrats are seeing an opportunity and they re wasting no time tonight in piling on. . it s clear that when it comes to border security, democrats are for the fix and republicans are for the fiction. we may have owned it before but now you own it.
the southern border. more than 4200 unaccompanied migrant children are in custody in the united states as pressure mounts on this administration. we do have a lot more on that in a moment. let s begin with the race to vacc vaccinate. randi kaye is live at a mass vaccination site. you see so many getting vaccinated in florida at the same time you see spring breakers acting like there never was a pandemic. absolutely. i mean, you it depends on where you go here. that s when you know you re in 2021 or maybe even 2019 when the spring breakers seemed to be living in that year, before the pandemic even hit. but if you look at the numbers, they are certainly going in the right direction for the vaccinations. just take a look at how many have been fully vaccinated across the country. more than 38 million people fully vaccinated with that covid vaccine and even the partial numbers are impressive. more than 71 million have been partially vaccinated. you mention those record highs.
