The congressional seat in california has turned from blue to read Republican Mike Garcia<\/a> defeated democrat Christy Smith<\/a> in a special election for a house seat left vacant when former representative katie hill resigned. Well earlier today we spoke to our political analyst on whether they think that this will have a large significance in this current political climate. Really has almost 9 this was a very truncated special election. Say this that the republicans actually nominated a candidate who actually had a chance to gain and latino candidate to it. Good credentials. But this is a district that in november when turnout is high is probably going to flip back to the dam so you know for a special election low turnout election. Im not surprised at the republican one and good for him, its going to be a lot different come november. Well theres a lot of moving parts here and one is which the republican actually ran talking about trump which is interesting. This is a former republican district not that less than 2 years ago. And that pardon me play well into november is the frustration republicans have around the state about the ship now that is bringing added momentum to certain congressional races and going forward. I think thats continues to grow including a new effort to recall Gavin Newsome<\/a> all of those things could still play well into november and help republicans win back 2 or 3 more seats.

The fall term it would be something that would be a bit of a bridge too far even at the top speed were going. We dont see a vaccine playing in the ability of individuals to get back to school. This turn. And found she was clear we might not end up getting a vaccine. First of all theres no guarantee. Vaccine is actually going to be effective you can have everything you think thats in place and you dont induce that kind of immune response it turns out to be protected and durably protect still he does think a vaccine will happen putting on those things to get senator carr i still feel cautiously optimistic we will have a candidate that will give some degree you can see as far as treatments go theres only one thats been shown to work against covid19 the antiviral medicine remdesivir year which shaves about 4 days off a hospital stay. But the distribution of remdesivir year by the federal government has been inconsistent with one leading democratic lawmaker calling it bungled i think we can all agree upon the fact that we learned a lot of lessons from the rent is your situation. Doctor stephen hahn commissioner of the u. S.
