thank you for being here. we begin with the biggest and longest lasting decision made by any president. the chance to choose a supreme court justice. justice stephen breyer, the most senior liberal justice on the high court gave president biden the historic opportunity. he s meeting with the president today at the white house and then they ll appear together to formally announce his plan to retire at the end of this term. the focus immediately shifts to the president and who he will select. already vowing to make good on his promise to nominate the first black woman to the supreme court. senate democrats are pushing for a quick confirmation process and the way senate rules are currently set up. they can confirm a new justice with a simple majority, meaning, without needing support from any republican. but the road to confirmation for any nominee is never guaranteed. cnn s jessica schneider live in washington with the very latest. jessica, a big moment today when we see ....
the vacancy is a cherished legacy moment for any president. the timing of this one makes it all the more consequential for this president. president biden promises history, a black woman, he says, will be his nominee. and just that is giant. plus the confirmation process adds interest to the midterm election year. a chance for the president and his fellow democrats to reset a political landscape that, up until now, is tilted decidedly in the republicans favor. that opportunity officially begins in just a few moments when the president and justice breyer appear together at the white house. chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is there. a giant moment for the president. a huge moment. but we re expecting this to be a small ceremony actually, john, here at the white house where president biden will formally announce that justice breyer is retiring from the supreme court. of course, therefore, giving him that coveted vacancy where he can then select someone to ....
and it includes history. listen. i have made no decision except one. the person i will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity. and that person will be the first black woman ever nominated to the united states supreme court. it s long overdue in my opinion. i made that commitment during the campaign for president, and i will keep that commitment. get to our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins at the white house. the president said he didn t want to share much about what comes next but he shared an historic deal. it s also notable he put a timeline on here saying he will, his intention is to let everyone know who his nominee is by the end of february. so what that is going to kick off internally at the white house is a very extensive process of vetting. and the president has already he said he s been looking at the backgrounds of potential replacements. he s going to study this carefully. he ll l ....
progressive democrats. which really enough is run by an extremely white guy called brian fallon, which is strange if you think about it. brian fallon is so president about getting leadership roles, why is he not resigned from his job and given it to one? in any case, you ve got to hand it to brian fallon. he either is remarkably pressured or someone in power was listening to him. just this morning it was announced that stephen breyer is retiring. it was announced. because breyer himself did not announce his retirement. it s not even clear he knew the announcement was going to happen. someone leaked that news with or without justice breyer s consent. he didn t wait for him to do it himself. because democrats understand they are likely to lose to congress this november. they want to control him while they still can. what are they going to do with that? we don t need to guess. joe biden is very clear about his plan. he was very precise about the supreme court. here is bide ....
variant to the next. a common denominator. saunders calls it a conserved site, creating antibodies to that is one path to a universal vaccine. so typically that s a place where the virus is binding to specific protein on the host cell that it s targeting. if it changes that site, then it s no longer able to infect. a big clue came from someone who was infected with sars, all the way back in 2003. what is dh 1047? the antibody dh-1047 is an antibody that we found from a sars cov 1 infected individual. 17 years later in 2020, they found dh-1047 was also protective against covid. protective against a virus that didn t even exist when these antibodies were first made. and so we took that antibody as a template to say there must be some site that s common between sars cov 1 and sars-cov-2 and let s figure that out. there are a number of covid vaccine strategies in the works. unlike the mrna vaccines we ve come to know, at duke they re working on a nano-particle ....
