Summary
The Delta variant is driving the U.S. into a fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mark Strassmann reports that as cases spike across the country, vaccination rates will define the next phase of the virus. We'll hear from former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb and former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams about the risk this poses for everyone -- vaccinated and unvaccinated. Plus, interviews with Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, and Washington Post's Carol Leonnig on new book about former President Trump. John Dickerson guest-moderates this week's "Face the Nation."
