Thank you very much, John.

I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime.

The Moderna vaccine is now authorized for emergency use,

but will we be able to get it to the people

who need it in time?

And a government shutdown has been averted

for at least two days, but will Congress get money

to the hungry before Christmas?

These questions demand answers and action

from the people who have the honor of doing our business.

We must demand those answers and action.

Again, why aren't we being given the facts and figures

about where the vaccine is going?

Why doesn't anyone seem to know

who's supposed to give us that data?

And what is so important to haggle over on this relief bill

that is important enough to risk not getting money

to hard, hit hungry families for Christmas?

Remember, this isn't a battle about how big the budgets are

and who gets how big of a tax cut

so you play it up to the brink, brinkmanship.

This is survival.
