Roughly half of Republicans refuse or are reluctant to get vaccinated. Trump, who has gotten the shots, has made no real effort to convince them and Biden camp is split on whether it would be helpful to ask him to. ⁦@anniekarni⁩ ⁦@KannoYoungs⁩ https://t.co/dokpqXNQoY — PolitiTweet.org

Biden again asserts that his promise of his 100 million shots in 100 days was a tough goal to meet. In fact, on his second day in office, the seven-day average was already at the 1 million doses per day average needed to meet his 100-day goal. https://t.co/rf86PtjpXs — PolitiTweet.org
