communities. >> a joint statement from others say it is clear that governor cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners. >> i did not do what has been alleged. >> it is unacceptable. the governor must resign. ♪ this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. oh, that is a beautiful shot of the city of pittsburgh. good morning to you. good morning wherever you are. thanks for being with us this morning. help is here, that's what we heard from the white house as the first $1400 stimulus payments are hitting bank accounts as early as today. >> president biden is going to hit the road for the nearly $2 trillion rescue plan. themessage, normalcy is close. and may 1, for all vaccines for all adults. and end of the virus as he called by 4th of july. and for those traveling for spring break, to not let guards down and there are more states easing restriction. >> let's go to the white house and cnn's jasmine wright is there. jasmine to you, the bill, signed passed and celebrated. what comes next? >> reporter: well, the president now turns his focus to actually implementing this very large covid relief bill. as he said yesterday in the rose garden, the devil is in the details. >> it's one thing to pass the american rescue plan. it's going to be another thing to implement it. it's going to require fastidious oversight to make sure there is no waste or fraud. and the law does what it's designed to do. and i mean, we have to get this right. details matter. because we have to continue to grow confidence in the american people that their government can function for them and deliver. >> reporter: now, a few things are going to happen next, victor. first, on monday, the white house will hold an event about implementation. president biden has said he will name someone to oversee it. and he has not done that yet. of course, whoever gets that job is going to have a lot to do because as i said, this is a big bill, a big role. next, you will see president bide combn going on what could be a victory tour, really both to educate americans on what is inside of this covid relief bill. but also to promote it. right now, this bill is popular, and the white house wants to keep it that way. so we are going to see president biden, vice president harris and other top surrogates crisscrossing the country in pennsylvania and, georgia -- excuse me, pennsylvania, delaware county, georgia, vegas to really push that message. victor, christi. >> so, i think a couple. daylights that the president threw out yesterday are what have stuck with people, you know, may 1st, people will be eligible. july 4th, we could be seeing some normalcy. what will is he saying specifically about either those dates or any other dates he wants to us look forward to? >> reporter: well, i think, christi, the first date that americans can really look forward to is this weekend. that is when the white house says the $1400 direct payment checks will start to pop up into people's bank accounts. of course, they have to be eligible. we know that those check pay automatic faster this time. but it will start popping up, they say, into bank accounts who are already signed up to the irs for direct ghost. christi. >> good to know. jasmine wright, always good to see you. >> in wilmington, delaware, not the white house. to correct that. president biden is hopeful for small gatherings by july 4th, as christi said. we're seeing gatherings happening at spring break hot spots. >> yeah. there's a real fear that people are going to let their guards down this week. s there also real hope with the vaccines administered in the u.s. here's cnn's natasha chen. >> reporter: the u.s. hit a new record of covid-19 vaccines administered in a single day. more than 2.9 million doses on friday alone. more than 1 in 10 people in the u.s. are now fully vaccinated according to cdc data. and more doses are coming. >> over the coming weeks, we will deliver vaccines directly up to 700 additional community health centers. that reach underserved communities. second, we will work to double the number of pharmacies participating in the federal pharmacy program. >> two, one, vaccinate! >> reporter: but there is still some hesitancy when it comes to the vaccine and it's is not just among minority communities. >> we are seeing vac seen hesitancy, really, as the pharmacists and i were talking about, south, a lot has to do with white republicans, quite honestly. >> reporter: but more options -- and astrazeneca tells cnn its phase 3 trial results are expected in the coming weeks, after which they'll apply for emergency use authorization. more states are expanding eligible groups for a covid-19 vaccine. as president biden has directed states to make all adults eligible by may 1st. and to make it easier to schedule a shot, new yorkers in both private and public sector jobs are being granted up to four hours off of work for each injection. but for some people, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel isn't enough. some spring breakers want to enjoy normal life now. >> i work in the hospital back in st. louis so i've been -- >> every day in st. louis, it's kind of -- a bit of freedom there, i heard. because you have the rules. >> reporter: more like a lack of them. florida businesses were allowed to reopen in full capacity in late september. but without the ability to enforce mask wearing with fines. >> we're probably one of the few people wearing masks walking around. >> yep. >> reporter: and now miami beach ma mayor dan gelber is bracing for a superspreader. would it make it easier if they didn't come? >> well, yes. >> listen, i'll be blunt, i know i'm the mayor of a hospitality town. we're trying to survive this. this is not a moment where, you know, we're saying oh, this is great, this is all great. we recognize that there's a pandemic and there's a crush of people who want to come here. there's real public safety issues that we have to address. we also worry that this community will become a superspreader for other communities. >> reporter: the same concerns echoed by the nation's top infectious disease expert. >> i don't know if you're a cancun guy or miami beach guy, but how concerned are you about spring break? >> you know i am, john. it's totally understandable that people want to do that. but that's something we really got to be careful of. we want people to have a good time on spring break, but don't put your guard down completely. just be prudent a bit longer. >> reporter: natasha chen, cnn, miami beach, florida. >> dr. saju mathew, public health official and care official in atlanta is here with us. doctor, good morning. >> good morning. >> let's start with travel. it's spring break season. the cdc will wait to release guidance on travel until more people are vaccinated, specifically, until, quote, we have more protection across the communities and population. do you think that's prudent? >> i think it's prudent, victor. but i definitely think that was a missed opportunity by cdc to really give people an incentive to get vaccinated. we just talked about how spring break is really around the corner. and as natasha mentioned a lot of people are getting together. why not give young people who are traveling anyway, an incentive to travel. get vaccinated, get travel. you know, if you really look at people who are vaccinated. they are safe. they are not necessarily obviously get infected. and there's also studies to show they decrease the infection to other people. and they're traveling to other people and safe, victor. i think the cdc should have given a few more guidelines have been more clear regarding vaccinating people. >> speaking about young people and vaccinations, you tweeted out this week, that a lot of your younger patients are reluctant maybe because of guilt to get the vaccine when it's offered to them. why, and what do you tell them? >> you know, ultimately, we all have to get vaccinated. we need to get to 75% to 85% herd immunity to protect each other. if the vaccine is offered to you regardless of age, you should get it. there are actually studies, victor, that show just because you declined the vaccine out of guilt doesn't necessarily mean it's going to go to an elderly person or if you're a yoga instructor and you take care of your mom twice a week and your mom is 75 you are a caregiver, if the vaccine is offered and you should get vaccinated. >> speaking of seniors, the medicaid/medicare service has got new information out to visit grandparents. they say you can do that even if you haven't vaccinate what should people know who visit their grandparents who have been vaccinated? >> well, i think it's important that the cdc needs to be a little more clear regarding guidelines. if you think about it, we're asking people not vaccinated to not travel. but we're also saying, hey, if you're not vaccinated, you can go see your grandmother, you can see your mother. part of it is the feeling that 75% of people in nursing homes have been vaccinated and there's some type of herd immunity protected. if you're an individual going to see your mom or dad, if you're sick, definitely don't see your mom even if you think it's a cold. if you can get tested three days before and then quarantine because of your mom or dad i think that's fine. remember, we're dealing with so much anxiety, victor with people, especially elderly people being alienated from loved ones, so i think that cdc is just encouraging people that you can do it safer. >> finally, there's a automatic of optimism after the president's speech and discussion of eventually getting together fourth of july weekend in small groups in back yards that help is here. is there any concern on your part that all of this optimism will cause some people to let their guard down too soon? we get to those groups on fourth of july weekend, if we do everything right up until then? >> yeah, i completely agree. i think with the mood of the country so much better, you still have to realize as we see these cases drop, you've got a good group of people who are vaccine hesitant to begin with. you might say, if my mom or dad are vaccinated, why do i have to get vaccinated. i think vaccine hesitancy and the false sense of security might actually tell people, you know, i don't think i need to get vaccinated. one last thing, victor, we need to hit the minority populations hard. 67% of white people have gotten either the first or second dose. but listen to this, only 7% of blacks have gotten their shots. so, we've got a group of people that are hesitant. we've got minorities that are not wanting to get the shot. and then we have this false sense of security. so, yes, all of that does worry me a little bit. >> in addition to the hesitancy, it's also access, we'll have a conversation about that later this morning. dr. saju mathew, always good to see you. new york governor andrew cuomo is refuting accusations now leaders in the party want him to step down. we'll hear his response. today marks one year, the anniversary of the shooting death of breonna taylor. >> i'll never get to a point where i'm over what happened to her. >> breonna's mother reflects on the past year and her continuing fight. ♪ ♪ smooth driving pays off. saving is easy when you're in good hands. allstate. click or call for a quote today. to be honest...a little dust?

>> reporter: christi and victor, the governor insists he will not step down. he wants it to run the course. doubling down on the position, saying he will not step down even with those described increases calls from fellow democrats calling for him to resign. this is what he said in the latest press conference. >> i did not do what has been alleged. period. look. it's very simple. i never harassed anyone. i never abused anyone. i never assaulted anyone. now -- and i never would, right? >> reporter: the new allegations continue emerging from a growing list of women claiming, at least describing unsettling encounters with the governor, including what some have described as flirtatious and inappropriate comments that they received, especially during official meetings and just yesterday, a former state house reporter. just as the allegations are growing, as you mentioned a while ago, so is the list of democrats, not just state democrats here in new york but in the very powerful democrats in the senate, kirsten dill la brand and chuck schumer calling for the governor's resignation on what is described as not only multiple but also credible wl allegations against him. >> 18 members of the congressional delegation there, polo, thank you very much. let's bring in now cnn political commentator errol louis and host of you decide, the podcast. good morning, errol. let's start here with the bigger question, as we saw those photographs. is the governor's hold on his office any weaker than it was 24 hours ago, before we heard from these members of the delegation, calling for him to resign? >> good morning, victor. yes, the hold on the office is considerably weaker. the fact that so many members of the delegation, in coordinated fashion, all within a few minutes of each other, issued these statements calling for him to step down, gives you a sense that these are not people independently forming their own conclusions but that they're kind of acting as a group. the same is true for, of course, the junior and senior senator and cannot be said enough. chuck schumer is the senate majority leader. he's not just one legislator. he really helps control the flow of dollars to new york. so it's going to be harder for the governor to get anything done if he does decide to stay. can he be forced out legally? well, it's a pretty complicated impeachment process but even that has begun, victor, so he's got real problems here. >> so, we've been hearing from lawmakers in new york. what about new york voters, is there a gauge, errol, on what new yorkers think should happen here? >> well, here's what we know so far, christi, there have been some pollings, the pollings we've seen thus far do not look all that encourages for andrew cuomo. there's a thin majority saying he should is not step down. but on the other hand there's a small majority saying he should not run for re-election next year. somewhere in between quitting tomorrow and running for a fourth term next year, the voters are saying, well, we're not sure exactly what we want to see happen here. this is not great news for the governor. there's also some polling that suggests that he's -- as we would say, upside down. meaning, he's seen more unfavorably than favorably, when you talk about the specific issues that brought us to this point, one of which is, we should never lose sight, a scandal around hiding information, around deaths in nursing homes due to covid. that's kind of what precipitated much of this crisis. a loss of faith and whether or not the governor was being strictly truthful both with state legislators and the public. >> we've got a new york state democrat coming up on the show later. he told "the washington post" of the governor he doesn't have a lot of friends in the legislature. he's spent years making enemies. how much of this growing opposition, not just democrats staying silent, not coming out to support him but speaking out that he has to go is based on or fuelled by that adversarial relationship? >> yeah, well, adversarial say nice word, victor. hostile, toxic, abusive. those words have also been applied and, frankly, the administration doesn't even disavow them, doesn't deny them. their spokespeople say, well, he's a tough guy because that's what it takes to get things done. well, look, the consensus is he long ago crossed the line between tough and toxic. and it's in that kind of abusive workplace where people -- i mean just instant after instant, including after lawmakers, people being berated, threatened, belittled, mocked, ignored and humiliated. this has gone on for years now. that's two effects, victor, number one, he doesn't have a lot of friends, number two, it makes that even more credible. and that kind of environment, in his everkay operating procedure in his administration that some of it could be aimed, you know at women with sort of a harassing or sexualized twist. that some of it could be the kind of thing that can't get fixed, because in that kind of a culture, you don't have a clear path to telling people stop doing this. stop being abusive towards people. so, yeah, this is a problem that's been ten years in the making. the particulars, of course, have reached a crisis point but you could have seen some of this coming a long time ago. >> so, errol, real quickly, your newsmaker has asked the governor's office if allegations of abuse are officially filed and they refused to answer. the optics refused to answer may be a yes, but again they did not answer that. it would serve him to say no, would it not? what is the expectation moving forward here? >> sure. look, it's a simple thing, any answer other than no is a problem. if other people brought form allegations saying we're not going to tell you. file a freedom of information request, that tells us something that they don't want to tell us, which is they're going to give us even more information, the attorney general has launched sort of a website asking people to come forward if they have additional cases. we don't know what they're going to find or when they're going to present is it. but, you know, the lid is off, now people are being encouraged to come forward with stories. there are six so far. we'll see what else we find out. >> not only the investigation by the attorney general letitia james, but also by the assembly as well. see where that goes. errol louis, great to have you with us, sir. thank you. >> thank you. minneapolis has reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with the family of george floyd. we're going to break down the details, ahead. what about me? and me? how about us? yeah, how about us? great question. wait, can i get one in green? got one for me?! hey, what about me? what about us? is there an ev for me? ev for me? us? what about me? me? for me?
