Welcome to the lead. I'm Jake Tapper. In the next hour, President Joe Biden will leave the White House to go to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he will face questions from anxious Americans in a CNN town hall.

Many Americans are eagerly desperately waiting for a stimulus check for a coronavirus vaccine.

Students and their parents and caregivers want to know when will the schools open.

And President Biden, while he's now the one responsible for delivering all three.

This afternoon, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced that the weekly supply of vaccine doses is increasing from 213.5 million up from 11 million last week.

But a bipartisan group of governors is now saying that the Biden administration needs to do better when it comes to getting that supply into American arms.

The nine governors pleading in a letter to the president for better coordination and better communication.

Plus, Dr. Anthony Fauci today on CNN said it will take until May or June before vaccines are widely available to the general public.

May or June, that's later than his previous prediction of April. This in part because the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is way behind when it comes to production.

Vaccinations are desperately needed to get the economy and life as we want to do it back on track.

And the CNN's Phil Mattingly reports tonight, President Biden will attempt to reassure the public that he and his administration are up to this daunting challenge.

Tonight, President Joe Biden's center stage answering voter questions for the first time since taking office and focused on one thing.

The president is going to continue working on getting the American rescue plan past that is his top priority.

His $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package to address the dual public health and economic crises.

But even with coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths down across the nation, top administration officials still urging caution and warning of their greatest fear, the influx of deadly new variants.

I don't think we're anywhere close out of the woods.

But with vaccine supplies still woefully short of demand and mounting frustration from governors, a bipartisan group even sending a letter to Biden expressing concern about the vaccine rollout, the pressure is mounting on the White House.

And today, the press secretary was quick to point the finger at the Trump administration.

Certainly, the president of the United States owns the response to the COVID pandemic. However, it's important for the American people to know what we inherited.

When the president came into office and what he inherited was not enough supply, not enough vaccinators, not enough places for vaccinations to happen.

So tonight, White House officials say Biden will use the CNN town hall in Wisconsin to press the urgency of the moment for that $1.9 trillion COVID relief plan.

This is an opportunity, as you noted, to go out and have a conversation with the people of Wisconsin, people who agree with them, people who disagree with them.
