Be serious consequences. so many issues here. we were told by the white house that those in florida in positions of authority said they believed this was the right time to come. the white house has not told us yet whether the will actually be at the site of the collapse or meeting families and so forth at another location. all of that dealing with concerns about not drawing away resources and the supreme court footprint that goes with the president wherever he is. but he will be with those families, first responders, and local officials today for an extended day. we expect it to be a long day in florida. steph? morgan, what s latest on the search and investigation? we know that president biden just touched down here in florida, walking off air force one just moments ago. you can see champlain towers south behind me. really we have two parallels happening right now, the growing investigation into a poe attention cause and the non-stop search and rescue mission that s really been rel ....

Politics, and selfishness doomed u.s. coronavirus response. andy, president biden wanted 70% of adults to get at least one shot by july 4th. he is going to fall short, barely short. where are we in the fight right now? stephanie, good morning, look we have come quite a distance from when president biden and we had less than 2% of americans with a first shot. nower with close to 67% as you just showed. i don t think we should be worried about the difference between 67 and 70% as much as we should be worried about the fact that there are parts of the country that have 40 to 50% of adults with their first shot and other parts are in better shape. with the delta variant coming the parts of the country and the people that are vaccinate ready in relatively good shape. i think they should be relaxed about the delta variant. but people who are living in communities with a lot of people when are unvaccinated or who themselves are unvaccinated, the ....
