Summary

After Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) publicly tanked the Build Back Better Bill on FOX News Sunday, Republicans began to court the senator. Such a move would give the GOP a 51-49 advantage in the U.S. Senate. Host of Talkline on West Virginia’s MetroNews, Hoppy Kercheval interviewed Sen. Manchin earlier this week after his announcement and discusses the possible party swap. In many U.S. states, COVID-19 cases are rapidly on the rise. The omicron variant is being transmitted at an alarming rate, though most cases are presenting mild symptoms. Professor of Health Metrics at the University of Washington, Dr. Ali Mokdad explains why the new variant is breaking through the vaccines, and compares what scientists know now about the virus, versus what they knew in 2020 at the start of the pandemic.
