Pres. Biden calls $1.9 trillion passage of Covid relief bill an “historic victory”

It is an historic day in Washington, DC as Pres. Joe Biden's signature domestic policy issue, the Covid relief bill, passed in the House of Representatives. The President also announced plans for a deal that would produce 100 million more doses of the one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine. CNN’s Gloria Borger and John King discuss the next challenges ahead for the President, promoting and executing on the promises in the bill. Also, Democratic congressional progressive caucus chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal tells Anderson Cooper, “My message tonight is: help is on the way, real tangible help, money in your pockets… and it is going directly to the people.” Rep. Jayapal also says it was a very big tactical mistake for the Republicans who didn't back the stimulus bill. Plus, there’s a legal battle over the Texas governor lifting the state’s mask mandate. Austin Mayor Steve Adler speaks out against calls from the Texas attorney general for local officials to rescind orders requiring face masks. “We’re not going to rescind anything, we are going to continue to do what’s right,” Mayor Adler tells Anderson Cooper.
