Summary

Congress will race to prevent a government shutdown before the debt deadline, today at midnight. CNBC’s Ylan Mui details the various other deadlines on the docket for lawmakers, including a short-term appropriations bill and the infrastructure bill. Former OMB Director in the Trump administration Mick Mulvaney joins former U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) to discuss bipartisanship, baseball, and averting a shutdown. AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine showed 74% efficacy in a U.S. clinical trial, and 83.5% efficacy in people 65 years and older. The company expects to file for U.S. approval later this year. Meanwhile, the CDC has issued a health advisory to increase Covid-19 vaccinations among women who are pregnant, recently pregnant or trying to become pregnant, to prevent serious illness and death. Plus, inflation is hitting Bed Bath & Beyond and Dollar Tree, the Business Roundtable has a new Chair, and booze stocks have a new boon. In this episode: Mick Mulvaney, @MickMulvaney Heidi Heitkamp, @HeidiHeitkamp Ylan Mui, @ylanmui Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin
