CNN
About this episode

Senate Democrats may not yet have the votes to pass one of the party's top legislative priorities: the Build Back Better Act. Senator Kyrsten Sinema sits down with CNN to share her plans for negotiating the social spending bill and why her vote remains uncertain.

President Biden announced a new strategy at combating Covid-19 this winter that does not involve lockdowns. The new approach includes expanding vaccinations to the remaining Americans who have resisted getting shots, providing booster shots, changing rules on international travel, and requiring insurance companies to pay for at-home tests.
