Watch Live: Biden delivers remarks on COVID vaccinations
CBSN
Washington — President Biden on Monday will speak about the nation's response to the coronavirus pandemic and his administration's vaccination efforts as fully vaccinated Americans begin shedding their masks in response to updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC announced last week its relaxed guidance for those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, allowing those Americans to forgo their face coverings and social distancing for most indoor and outdoor activities. The White House lifted its own mask requirement for fully vaccinated staff following the health agency's announcement, and at least 18 states and some major retailers have announced plans to lose their mask mandates.We just had another election with a clear and verifiable victor, overseen by hundreds of thousands of election officials. Those public servants have suffered years of harassment, and despite their successes, are still being accused of taking part in a massive and impossible conspiracy — a conspiracy led by the party out of power to steal an election and cover up all evidence.

Matt Gaetz is meeting with senators on Capitol Hill on Wednesday as he seeks to shore up support for his nomination for attorney general amid calls for the House Ethics Committee to release a report on allegations he engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
