In his first public appearance since leaving the White House, former President Trump makes it clear he's not going anywhere.

The question is, what exactly is the future of the Republican Party?

Plus, the director of the CDC signs off on Johnson & Johnson's single-shot coronavirus vaccine,

clearing the way for distribution to start.

The question is, how quickly will the rollout begin?

Also this morning, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, accused of sexual harassment by a second

former aide. He's offered an apology. The question is, what will an independent investigator find?

It's way too early for this.

Good morning and welcome to way too early.

I am Casey Hunt on this Monday, March 1st. We survived February, everyone. Now, as you know, we start here with the news and not false claims from a former president. So let's begin with an important update on the fight to stamp out COVID-19.

An advisory panel for the Centers of Disease Control voted yesterday to recommend the Johnson

and Johnson coronavirus vaccine for widespread use.

This is the final clearance for the only single dose vaccine paving the way for mass distribution after the

FDA authorized it for emergency use on Saturday.

Local public health authorities will use FDA and CDC guidance as they administer the first

four million doses and the first shipment of shots is going to go out this morning.

Johnson & Johnson expects to ship 100 million

doses by mid-2021. That's enough to vaccinate nearly one-third of all Americans. And Dr. Anthony

Fauci threw his support behind this new Johnson and Johnson vaccine on Meet the Press yesterday. Watch.

You now have three highly efficacious vaccines for sure. There's no doubt about that.

And particularly the recent results from Jay and Jay, all three of them are really quite good.

And people should take the one that's most available to them.
