January is now the second deadliest month for coronavirus. So far 64,000 deaths recorded, more than 8300 in a few days. Our biggest problem is lax of sax seen. Did the last year cost lives . You know, it very likely did. This is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Good morning to you there. In st. Louis. And good morning, wherever you are watching this morning. Former President Trump will face an impeachment trial for the second time. We know the date now is february 9th, monday, House Democrats will walk over the single charge of incitement of insurrection to the senate. The trial will start two weeks later. Senate leaders reached a deal to delay it. Yeah, meanwhile, President Biden is attempting to push ahead with his agenda, of course, hes taking executive action to address the pandemic, the economic crisis including expanding food aid and raising the federal minimum wage. He says we need to act like were in a national emergency. Theres another urgent matter as well here. Fixing the vaccine rollout. Theres a new study that finds 6 in 10 americans, you dont know where or when to go to get your shot. The governors say they need help sorting out the vaccine distribution, quote, mess. Look, we shouldnt this shouldnt be the the hunger games like it was with ppe. Were going to start this morning on capitol hill. Where the concern of maybe getting bipartisan support for convicting the previous president is starting to fade. So far, republicans are publicly saying that they expect trump to be acquitted. But cnn has learned that some influential members of the party have been quietly lobbying for conviction. Cnn congressional reporter daniela diaz is on capitol hill this morning. Daniela, its good to see you this morning. We so the articles are set to be delivered on monday. Walk us through how this is going to play out. Reporter right, christi. Senator Chuck Schumer actually broke the news that the articles will be walked to the senate side. This is important because Mitch Mcconnell and senator schumer reached a deal that even though the articles are going to be walked on monday. They actually wont hold a trial until two weeks after. He wanted the second week of february. Its going to be the first week of february. There was a compromise there. But, see, both sides win with this situation. Chuck schumer wanted bidens nomination to be cleared through the senate. This has allowed time for that help. Mitch mcconnell wanted time to build a defense for the former president. Thats going to happen as well. And of course, the covid19 package the senate also wants to pass that is a priority or the administration. Both sides of this chamber are winning with this date. Daniella diaz, good to see you, thank you so much. Thank you. So, while the senate is moving closer to the impeachment trial the Biden Administration is trying to focus on the agenda. Jasmine wright is with us now. Jasmine, the Biden Administration is pushing pretty aggressively for the covid relief package. And confirmations as well but an impeachment trial could really slow down those plans. Reporter victor, it could eventually slow down any movement on bidens wall he wants to do. But, listen, biden yesterday was given more time. Like my colleague daniella said, he was given more time for that 1. 8 trillion coronavirus package to have discussion with members. Biden with this presidency with none of this cabinet members confirmed. So far, there are 2 out of 23 nominees that he has in place. That is unusual. Now, biden spoke yesterday at the white house, during an event. He was asked about the potential delay before that move was made, before that decision was made. Take a listen to what will he had to say here. Will you support the time line for a february impeachment trial . I havent heard the detail of it. But i do think that having some time to get the administration up and running, the more time we have to get up and running to meet these crises the better. Reporter now, bidens team is focused on getting those National Security nominees through. Getting the secretary of treasury nominees, too. They find those, important, then they will go down the line. But again, hes giving an extra week to give some of those people, as he has said confirmed and that 1. 9 trillion coronavirus package to be considered for the discussions he and his team will have bipartisanly with the lawmakers on the hill. Now in lieu of any legislative success or bills being put on the floor for his administration, in terms of controlling the coronavirus package a, he has been leading exclusively by executive actions, in the first three days of office, he has passed 30 executive actions, and those are focused on the coronavirus. Including invoking the defense protection act that he will use to croat more supplies to administer those vaccines. It also includes walking back some of those moves that trump made in office including stopping construction on the border wall, as well as reversing that ban on that travel ban on predominantly muslim countries. So biden has been using those executive orders, and he will continue to do so next week including signing an executive bill to start a policing commission. Victor, christi. Jasmine wright there in washington. Thank you so much. Lets bring in cnn political commentator errol louis. Good morning, errol. How are you. Good morning, how are you . Im well, thank you. I wanted to get to something we havent talked about yet but a head line in the New York Times. They are reporting the president S Justice Department attorney Jeffrey Clark had allegedly formulated the plan to oust the attorney general jeffrey rosen. To put clark in that position, that way, they could use the doj power to force Georgia State lawmakers to overturn the president ial election in that state. We know that was a priority for President Trump. Clark is denying all of it, but i wanted to ask you, what evidence is there, or what evidence is needed to assert that this actually happened. And what is the potential consequence of it . Well, the evidence is standard reporting. The New York Times doing its usual good job. Stalking to four high. Referee ranking officials privy to the conversations. I have mentioned thatmatched by washington post. Its as close to the truth as were likely to get. When asked about it there were no direct denials that the substance was incorrect. What will appears to have happened a number of proposals were brought to the then president Donald Trumps desk. He was very interested in the idea of putting direct legal pressure through the department of justice on georgia officials to try and get them to reverse the count in that state and basically overturn the results. Apparently, christi, the only reason it didnt happen was there was going to be a mass wave of resignations at the top of the justice department, because some of the top officials there were appalled on the idea that purely on the president s sayso and not on any independent finding of facts other than what could be gleaned from the internet there was this mroch plot being hatched. A desperate window of how trump was to throw out the results of the election. This wouldnt have any impact on the impeachment trial, would it . Not necessarily. Although it would, or potentially could affect what some people think should be the outcome of all of this. Keep in mind, when the senate they told their trial, yes, theyre only voting on the one trial about incitement to insurrection. But they also have to weigh what the consequences, the penalties will be. The movement is not on the table. The voters took care of that. But there is this idea of censuring donald trump from precluding him from running from office again. Thats something that the senators might be interested in. And these kind of facts become relevant to that sort of a judgment. We also have reporting that there are republican senators who are secretly lobbying for potential conviction here of the president. They wouldnt do it publicly, necessarily, because of their own obviously politics. And wanting to survive in d. C. But i mean, with that said, what do you make of the potency of that. I mean, they can lobby all they want but if they dont actually vote for it and they need republican votes to impeach in the trial, what good does it do . Well, heres how this goes. I say this a million times, christi. They need 17 republican votes plus all of the democrats to get the necessary margin to convict donald trump at the end of the impeachment trial. Ive seen this a million times. What you do to make this happen, one scenario, you tell each of the 17 senators individually, you are the deciding vote. Its very hushhush. Youre the deciding vote. Please come to a meeting, lets talk this through. All 17 get to the meeting, they look around the room and they realize, oh, i wasnt the deciding vote. Now, the whole dynamic, the whole conversation has changed. If they do realize they can do this, exclude donald trump from politics, from running from office again, they may very well d decide politically thats what they want to do. Its kind of lonely as they watch unable to move legislation, unable to hire the staff or the audience they want and watch the democratic agenda proceed, this may decide, listen, donald trump has cost us enough. And we dont want to live through this again. You mentioned minority. What the heck is going on with this 50 50 in the senate. I think people are waking up going why are there any negotiations happening. Its 50 50. You would think Vice President harris would be the deciding vote. Explain the necessity of these investigations . Yes. They need an operating agreement thats going to be the rules of the road going forward. Because its so close, christie, you dont want to necessarily drag the Vice President into the chamber to settle every minor piece of legislation. So what Mitch Mcconnell is trying to do is establish some kind of a threshold by which you might need 60 votes on many different pieces of legislation. It is a traditional method by which the senate does a lot of things. The problem is, the democrats dont necessarily want to go along with that. They dont want to have to go to the other extreme. You know if its inconvenient and cumbersome to have the Vice President in the chamber even for routine pieces of legislation, its even more cumbersome to have to get to 60 votes to get anything done in the chamber. Certainly, Chuck Schumer didnt come all this way to round up 17 votes anytime he wants to do anything in the schachamber. Theyre going to arrive at some agreement. Theyre both old time members of the senate. They know each other very well and know whats at stake. There are other bells and whistles attached many of which we wont know about. Errol louis, i was watching you last night. Youre back up this morning. We certainly appreciate it. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

The fda has approved a new syringe that can extract an addition dal dose from each pfizer covid19 vial. Johnson johnson also can submit within a couple weeks. In the meantime, a new poll showing 66 of people are willing to get a shot now that malt tim vaccines are available. Thats up from 51 back in october. Cnns Polo Sandoval is following the latest from new york. So, three elements of good news there. Reporter yeah, absolutely. But at the same time, you have a fairly concerning poll that show 6 in 10 americans surveyed have no idea when or where they would be getting their vaccine when its time. Back to that promising Johnson Johnson candidate, dr. Nouch in a new interview saying yesterday, he would not be surprised in a couple weeks but as he said decisions have been made. But if it becomes the third vaccine to be authorized for emergency use that would add millions to the vaccine poll. Ashley bennett never got to hold her tenth child in her arms. The South Carolina mother died of covid19 after her entire family tested positive for the virus, one week after delivering her baby by emergency csection. If we can learn anything from this, the covid is so serious. And we need to truly take precautions because she was only 36. She had no underlying conditions. And she was gone basically in two days. Reporter but a case added to a National Death rate that remains alarmingly high. California reported its deadliest day on friday. There is hope with new date dal showing a downward trend in options nationwide. The sevenday average for new cases has also reached its lowest point since early december. And the average for the National TestPositivity Rate fell below 10 . Second consecutive day in weeks. One of President Bidens coronavirus advisers worries any rest may be temporary. Youre going to see people traveling again for spring break in march and april. And that is exactly where we expect the variants, in particular, the uk variant, to really have taken hold in the u. S. Reporter so new concern that new variants could cause new surges, faster than vaccines being distributed. Lines are long, even for those lucky enough to register for a shot. I was very disheartened when i did get to the door, and they took us in to get our shots, with that many people standing outside, they had five people administering the shots. Reporter Houston Health officials report 1600 appointment slots to get first vaccine doses booked in about five minutes. Extremely limited Vaccine Supplies are also being reported elsewhere across the country. So, wof got 275 disappointment points already in the state up and running. Six mega sites. Our problem right now is dose supply. If the fema sites were set up with supply, that would make a huge difference. Reporter walmart, the nations largest retailer expanding covid19 vaccinations to seven more states, chicago and puerto rico, possibly helping accelerate distribution. The man nominated to serve as the nations next Surgeon General hopes authorization of other vaccine candidates can provide a desperately needed boost to production. Supply will increase over the coming months as they bring more and more production online for the pfizer and for the moderna vaccine. It is possible that another vaccine may come into the mix. If the Johnson Johnson or astrazeneca vaccine come through with strong data and theyre authorized by the fda, then we could see more vaccines and put them on the market. Reporter you know, we update you on a daily basis regarding all of those measures. An important to also watch is the number of confirmed cases of that uk variant according to the centers for Disease Control and prevention this morning. 200 cases have been confirmed. The top states seeing those, california, florida and here in new york, victor and krckristi, important to keep in mind the number is higher. Polo sandoval, thank you. The covid19 Pfizer
