Biden unveils plans for expanded access to the vaccine

President-elect Joe Biden on Friday offered a sober assessment of the nation’s ability to conquer the coronavirus pandemic, saying the country remains “in a very dark winter” as the number of dead approaches 400,000. Biden unveiled his incoming administration’s plan to get Americans vaccinated.

Biden is seeking to keep a focus on combating the coronavirus with his speech in Wilmington, Del., on vaccine distribution a day after he called the rollout by Trump’s administration a “dismal failure.” “Things will get worse before they get better. I told you I would always level with you,” Biden said Friday.
The vast majority of Americans say they oppose the actions of the rioters who stormed and ransacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, while smaller majorities say Trump bears responsibility for the attack and that he should be removed from office and disqualified from serving again, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.
A hearing scheduled for Biden’s nominee to serve as the nation’s top intelligence official, Avril D. Haines, has been postponed until next week, according to leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol came perilously close to Pence, who was not evacuated from the Senate chamber until about 14 minutes after the Capitol Police reported an initial attempted breach of the complex.
