The Delta variant of COVID-19 is proving to be a difficult roadblock to returning to normalcy, as it spreads through unvaccinated communities and even some vaccinated as well. President Biden’s chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci called this latest outbreak as a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” however he shared his fear the virus could continue to mutate. Fox News Chief Washington Correspondent Mike Emanuel joins to discuss the latest COVID-19 news , including how U.S. officials are attempting to combat vaccine hesitancy and how private industry is helping via vaccine mandates. Emanuel discusses how the Biden administration is struggling to manage the U.S.-Mexico border and explains the intense scrutiny New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo now finds himself under after an investigation detailed several allegations of sexual harassment.
Earlier this week the CDC extended the federal eviction moratorium to October 3, 2021 for counties experiencing high levels of COVID-19 transmission, after the original ban expired last month. The White House previously said President Biden did not have the authority to extend the ban, after a Supreme Court ruling said only Congress could do it and Congressional Democrats did not have enough votes to extend it. President Biden urged states to use the $46.5 billion in federal rental relief to avoid evictions, but it has been a slow process. We speak with Mike Sullivan a landlord from Connecticut and Brenda Nanomantube, who is a renter in California who was behind on her rent due to the pandemic.
