Summary
On this week's "60 Minutes" with moderator Margaret Brennan: The COVID pandemic, inflation, voting rights, and more! We asked Americans how they feel the Biden administration is handling the issues impacting them the most. Plus, CBS News Election and Surveys Director Anthony Salvanto with a poll on President Biden's first year in office.
An statement that the Omicron variant will most likely infect everyone and the CDC’s update to mask guidance this week has confused many Americans on how to best protect themselves from COVID. We'll hear from former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb.
Medical experts believe the Omicron wave is headed for the Midwest next. Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas discusses how he plans to protect his citizens from the coronavirus.
Democrats’ renewed push for voting rights legislation may be tied to filibuster reform. We talk to Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) for perspective on how the party can get movement on this issue, Build Back Better, and their other priorities in 2022.
