The meantime things are going to get worse. The virus is surging. The Biden White House wants to pose as a vaccine each for 50 Million People or 100 million jobs in 100 days and that requires a pace of 1 million a day, not much higher than the 850,000 a day average in the final days of the Trump Administration. Now a member of a federal vaccine Advisory Board is quoted by the New York Times said i love that he set a goal but a million doses a day, we can do better. We are going to have to what we want to get on top of this virus by summer. God willing not just 100 million but more than that. It will earn easy republican support. This doesnt have a partisan piece to it. Some republicans balk at including items like a 15 minimum wage or funding for public transportation. There are some added items in there that he will have a real tough time getting through that arent part of covid relief. He will have to separate those out, but when we talk about vaccine dollars and we talk about testing dollars and so forth, ill think ill have pretty broad support. We are doing all outreach that the president has directed the team to do outreach to members of congress, to business and labor organizations to mayors and governors. Biden and Mitch Mcconnell around the same page about waiting until midfebruary to start the trump impeachment trial. The more time we have to get up and running the better. Now trying to prevent democrats from doing something that would completely marginalize the republican minority, getting rid of the filibuster. President biden has praised this distinctive feature of the senate on many occasions. One of the ways biden is trying to stabilize the economy is extending a pause in Student Loan Debt payments. I directed my administration to pause student loan repayments for interest for americans with federal Student Loans until at least september. When alexandria ocasiocortez heard about that, she asked for more. She said okay, now lets cancel them. Hes not there right now but wants to move quickly. We dont act, the rest of the world is not standing still in terms of their competitive advantage and competitive possibilities relative to us. To start keeping tabs on the rest of the road, President Biden is working the phone, tonight going to dial canadas Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and mexicos president , these are his first foreign leader calls since becoming leader of the free world and its taking them from the oval office because walking out here, there was a marine posted outside the front door. Bret which is a sign he is in the oval office of the west wing. Peter doocy live from the north lawn, thank you. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will send that single articles of impeachment against former President Donald Trump to the senate monday. That will set in motion the second impeachment trial against President Trump and a conviction could torpedo any plans he may harbor for another run at the white house. Also tonight, the current occupant of the white house is trying to gather support for his agenda for the first 100 days at least. Congressional correspondent chad pergram has details. Good evening. Walk us through monday. We met good evening, brett. Monday is the formal start of the impeachment trial. The nine impeachment managers led by jamie raskin will walk the sole article of impeachment over to the senate, one article, incitement of insurrection and they will read the articles of impeachment before the senate. The question is whether or not they can work out some sort of framework or guidepost for this trial or maybe they dont get to the meat and potatoes of the senate trial until midfebruary. Lindsey graham, republican senator from South Carolina says the trial once it starts, all other Senate Businesses off. We are not going to split today, at least i wouldnt. Theyre choosing to do this and will do with the way weve always done it. We never split the day. By rule 1 00 p. M. Six days a week is how you handle the senate trial but we might get some more information here in the next couple of minutes, the new Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer is going to be on the senate floor and has an announcement about the parameters of the senate trial. Bret thats any moment we will see that and we will turn it around once we get it. The senate also trying to get an agreement on how to operate in this 50 50 environment. How does that impact the filibuster of 60 votes . For the new Senate Minority leader, he wants a powersharing agreement and of course because mcconnell is now in the minority, he wants to maintain the filibuster and a Senate Democratic leader, the new majority leader Chuck Schumer says that is unacceptable. The republican leader however has made an extraneous demand that would place additional constraints on the majority, constraints that have never been in place before. In fact, his proposal would remove a tool that the republican leader himself used twice in just the last congress. Blowing up the filibuster for legislation is unlikely. You need at least 51 votes to establish a new precedent to kill the filibuster and doubtful there are 51 senators who would go along with ditching the filibuster. The right to filibuster is a Hallowed Senate prerogative. Bret you may have others. We will see over the next few days. Where do we stand with the president s cabinet . Just one confirmation today, lloyd austin the defense secretary was confirmed today. The vote there was 932. Josh hawley and mike lee where the two no votes so only two confirmations so far for President Biden. We might have a confirmation on monday for tony blinken to be the secretary of state, may be janet yellen to be secretary of treasury. In impeachment trial threatens to derail confirmations and thats why it may be in the interest of the democrats to work out a deal for the impeachment trial. Okay, chad pergram with the latest, thank you. 7,000 National Guard troops are going to stay in washington, d.
