The vote on President Biden's COVID relief bill

has been delayed in the Senate,

and it looks like it could be delayed even longer.

Republican Ron Johnson is planning to force a reading

of the entire 600-page bill on the Senate floor,

which would take 10 hours.

I'm gonna wait until it's adapted on Netflix. I'll watch it then, you know?

After nearly 11 hours, Senate clerks have finally finished reading President Biden's nearly

$2 trillion coronavirus relief package out loud on the Senate floor. Senators return this morning

to debate the bill, but it will likely

carry on into the weekend. The question is, how long before they actually vote? Plus, new

reporting about aides for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo altering a report on nursing homes

in order to hide a higher death total. The question is, what does this mean for the intense

scrutiny Cuomo is already facing?

And the confirmation of President Biden's Attorney General pick, Merrick Garland, hits another roadblock.

Republican Senator Tom Cotton is delaying Democrats' efforts to speed up the process.

The question is, when will Biden finally have a full cabinet?

It's way too early for this.

Good morning and welcome to way too early, the show that promises to never spend half a day

reading you a piece of legislation.

I'm the AP's Jonathan Lemire in for Casey Hunt on this Friday, March 5th.

I vote that we start with the news.
