Burner as the Biden Administration and Senate Democrats push forward on a cody relief bill that some lawmakers and even leftleaning economists say could actually hurt the economy in the long run. President biden saying today its an easy choice, pointing to the latest jobs numbers as proof there is no time to waste. This as he met with 10 republican senators earlier this week who proposed a Counter Offer to his nearly 2 trillion plan. White house correspondent Kristin Fisher has been following it all.

Actually lead to increased mortality. And the jury is still out how these vaccines are going to work against these variants. Reporter this is new day, with Alisyn Camerota and john berman. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day. Its thursday, february 4 tth, 6 00 here in new york. A moment of revelation for the Republican Party overnight.
