In for erin burnett. Diplomats warned in july they believed the country could rapidly deteriorate and they feared a catastrophe after u. S. Troops pull out at the end of august. And tonight, there is Chaos And Dysfunction in afghanistan, as the u. S. Struggles to get Tens Of Thousands of people out of the country. Officials today saying over the past five days, just 7,000 people have been flown to safety. These are some we are showing you of the lucky ones. The afghans able to board a flight. But they represent just a fraction of the Tens Of Thousands whose lives are now in limbo. And as it stands tonight, we still dont know how many americans have left afghanistan, and how many remain. This is the u. S. , this is afghan. I do not have a breakdown. I suspect over time, as our Manifesting Process gets more refined, we may be able to be there. But we dont have that specific breakdown. How many american citizens remain in afghanistan . I dont know. Well, the 7,000 figure, at this point, i
Were following multiple big developing stories tonight. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo resigning, trying to avoid impeachment while also attempting to undercut the Sexual Harassment allegations forcing him out. Plus the Delta Variant putting children at risk. Nearly 94,000 American Kids Testing Positive for covid in just the past week. So why are some republican governors trying to punish schools for requiring masks in the classroom . And President Biden celebrating the senate Passing A 1. 2 trillion Infrastructure Bill and a bipartisan vote that included 19 republicans. After years and years of infrastructure week, were on the cusp of an Infrastructure Decade that i truly believe will transform america. Weve proved that we can still come together to do Big Things, important things for the american people. If passed by the house, the bill would revamp the countrys roads and bridges while boosting Broadband Connections and fighting climate change. So lets start with cnn political Commen
Survey show parents strongly favor masks. Nearly twothirds want masks required for all unvaccinated students and staff. Parents are more closely divided over mandating shots. 58 say they dont want their schools to require vaccination, 42 are in favor. Public health experts not divided. They say every student who can be vaccinated should be vaccinated and other politicians who are politicizing the important debate should just stay out of it. Extraordinary to think that we have governors that arent putting needs of School Kids first and this is something that i think every Voter And Everybody in the country should be very focused on. Lets get our kids vaccinated and for those who arent or cant be, they should be wearing a mask. This is not a political issue. One of the officials who is making it a political issue though is text goas governor ab, judges blocking his ban on mask mandates. And meanwhile the surge overwhelming Texas Hospital resources, Governor Abbott on tuesday sought out o
The rule which means 51 votes 50 democrats are Kamala Harris as the Vice President breaking the tie, is the only way it can pass the senate. Manchin says he has serious concerns about the way forward. He says given the state of the economic recovery, its simply irresponsible to continue spending at levels more sulted to respond to a great depression or great recession, not an economy that is on the verge of overheating. This 3. 5 trillion plan is part of the larger, more than 4 Trillion worth of Joe Bidens agenda. The other piece, that 1. 2 trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Plan that passed the senate with 69 votes yet. That still is awaiting action in the house. Nancy pelosi has made clear she will not move on that bipartisan plan until the senate moves the larger democratic plan. You can see the challenge the democrats have both from the progressives, pushing the larger plan, moderates like Joe Manchin raising concerns about the price tag. Its a complicated dance that she has to per
Governor. President biden he has done a hell of a job on everything from access to voting, to infrastructure, a whole range of things. Thats why it is so sad. Harris queue the damage control. Press Secretary Jen Psaki is president addressed quo Efms Infrastructure and right for him to step down. Reiterated his support for women to come forward and made clear you cant separate personal behavior from other work. Trey gowdy didnt buy it. Look, biden got more questions about cuomo than he did about this historic Infrastructure Bill . I think he really bungled it. Harris also the headline across every new York Post and paper this morning, at The End of his grope. Tucker carlson torched the selfdescribed New York tough governor. He is so tough he is running away. He is so tough he is quitting. Youve heard that claim a lot recently. Watching that tape it is possible that we have sold andrew cuomo short. We told you his emmy in november was the High Point of his career. In fact what you just s
