| 0:00.0 | We begin with growing calls on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to step down from some of the heaviest hitters in state and national politics. |
| 0:07.0 | CNN Shaman Proquette has joined us now from the state capital Albany. |
| 0:10.0 | So talk about the latest figures in the Democratic Party calling on the governor to resign. |
| 0:15.0 | Well, it's the most senior, the leaders of the Democratic Party here in New York state. |
| 0:21.0 | Of course, I'm talking about Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, and then Senator Kristen Gillibrand. |
| 0:28.0 | Just to think, Anderson, we started the day by hearing from congressional members and leaders in Congress calling on the governor to resign. |
| 0:37.0 | And then we end the day with these two top Democrats also now calling on the governor to resign. |
| 0:43.0 | We're going to come back to you in just a few minutes for more in depth coverage, but just quickly how many allegations are there as of tonight against the governor? |
| 0:52.0 | So CNN, yeah, so CNN is reporting on six allegations. There's a new allegation now coming from a reporter who covered the governor back in 2014, where she accuses him of inappropriately touching her at the time and inappropriate behavior. |
| 1:09.0 | That is the latest individual that CNN is reporting on Anderson. |
| 1:14.0 | And we'll have more on this shortly right now first for the first time in a long time. The COVID milestone we crossed today was neither a cause for sadness as it was at half a million fatalities. |
| 1:25.0 | Nor an occasion as it was last night to remember what our world used to be like a year and a year and a day ago. |
| 1:31.0 | Instead, this latest marker for where we stand signals better times ahead today, the country crossed the 100 million vaccination mark. |
| 1:38.0 | And the United States has been more than 101 million shots have been administered. Now the goal was reached on the day the president Biden signed his $1.9 trillion dollar COVID relief package, day 52 of his administration. |
| 1:50.0 | 48 days ahead of the schedule, he originally set eight days ahead of the revised version he unveiled just last night. |
| 1:57.0 | When I came into office, you may recall, I said a goal that many of you said was that kind of way over the top. I said I intended to get 100 million shots and people's arms in my first 100 days in office. |
| 2:11.0 | Tonight, I can say we're not going to meet that goal. We're going to beat that goal because we've actually on track to reach this goal of 100 million shots and arms on my 60th day in office. |
| 2:24.0 | It's not exactly accurate that the goal was not set particularly high compared to what the previous administration had said was going to be done. Nevertheless, they have surpassed it. |
| 2:34.0 | Just a day later, we're there with the country now topping two million vaccinations a day. It certainly was one of the safer predictions to make. |
| 2:41.0 | It is also a welcome development wherever you stand politically. Red and blue states alike are benefiting from growing vaccine availability and Republican governors are saying so. |
| 2:50.0 | Yet to Republicans in Washington and on Fox News, one thing matters more, giving all the credit to the former president. |
| 2:56.0 | House Minority Leader McCarthy tweeting quote, President Biden's plan is to rely on the work. There's already been done by Operation Warp Speed. |
