VOTE-A-RAMA’ COMMENCES IN SENATE ON COVID BILL

• ANDY FIELD, ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT, WASHINGTON (3:00PM - 8:00PM ET) @andyfielddc
• KATHERINE FAULDERS, ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT, WASHINGTON (4:00PM - 5:00PM ET)  @KFaulders

Senate Democrats bidding to solidify support for their $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill have agreed to pare back the measure's emergency jobless benefits but extend them for an extra month. Democrats hope the Senate will approve the overall legislation over the weekend, then have the House give it final approval and whisk it to Biden for his signature. But first, the Senate has to vote on a mountain of amendments ("vote-a-rama"), mostly by GOP opponents and virtually all of which are destined to fail. As of this writing, Republicans have offered 1,008 amendments to be voted on.

DESPITE VACCINATION NUMBERS GRWOING, HEALTH OFFICIALS WARN IT’S STILL TOO SOON TO ROLL BACK RESTRICTIONS

ALEX STONE, ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT, LOS ANGELES (4:00PM - 7:00PM ET) @astoneabcnews

The CDC says for the first time, 2 million vaccine doses are being put into arms each day.  Huge venues like Yankee Stadium are now going 24/7.  At the same time, alarm from health officials about rolling back restrictions is growing with more health leaders saying it’s too soon and that the gains that we’ve made could be lost before more are vaccinated.  In Texas,  Gov. Greg Abbott said people will continue to wear masks and take precautions despite the mandate there.  Atlanta is pleading with people not to come to town for the NBA All-Star game this weekend -- Georgia is in last place among U.S. states in the pace of vaccination.  Alabama, West Virginia, and Connecticut are all extending mask mandates saying they need more time to vaccinate more people.

ABC's Andy Field joined Andrew Rogers and Dan Cochell on KRDO's Afternoon News as the Biden administration says it's taking "creative steps" to get broader public support for its $1.9 trillion COVID-19 rescue plan. That's as attempts to strike a deal with Republicans have led to concerns about
delays in coronavirus relief. President Joe Biden and his new treasury
secretary said Friday that the cost of doing too little is much greater
than the cost of doing and spending too much. White House press secretary
Jen Psaki said Biden recognizes the importance of speaking directly to the
American people about his plan for vaccinations and supporting the
economy. But the pandemic has limited his ability to safely travel the
country to drum up support.

Japan is publicly adamant it will stage the postponed Olympics this summer. But to pull it off, many believe the vaccination of its 127 million citizens is key. And what about the athletes? Will they get priority in their various countries?  What about athletes from the poorer nations that may not get vaccines in time? And what about spectators?  Leaders struck deals with three pharmaceutical makers -- Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Moderna. But uncertainty is growing that a nation ranked among the world's lowest in vaccine confidence can pull off the massive undertaking in time for the Olympics in July.

KRDO’s Afternoon News - January 20th, 2021 - ABC’s Andy Field

ABC's Andy Field joined Andrew Rogers on KRDO's Afternoon News as Joe Biden has officially become the 46th president of the United States and Kamala Harris is the first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to become Vice President.  In his inaugural address, President Biden called on Americans to overcome their divisions, declaring in his first address in office that "without unity, there is no peace." Biden also pledged that he would be honest with the country as it continues to confront difficulties, saying that leaders have an obligation "to defend the truth and defeat the lies." As he did frequently during the campaign, Biden pledged that he will be a "president for all Americans" and will "fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did." He added, "We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue."  In his first official acts as president, Biden is signing executive orders on a broad range of issues, from the coronavirus pandemic to climate change and immigration, to fulfill campaign promises. He'll require that masks be worn in federal buildings to try to slow the spread of coronavirus. He's directing the U.S. to rejoin the World Health Organization and the Paris climate accords. And he's stopping the construction of the border wall and reversing President Trump's policies on immigration.

KRDO’s Afternoon News - January 18, 2021 - ABC’s Andy Field

ABC's Andy Field joined Andrew Rogers on KRDO's Afternoon News as President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani apparently won’t be on Trump’s impeachment team. Giuliani, who has been leading the president’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl over the weekend that he will not be part of Trump’s legal team for the upcoming Senate impeachment trial due to his involvement in the January 6 rally in Washington, D.C. that led to the attack on the U.S. Capitol building. “Because I gave an earlier speech [at the rally], I am a witness and therefore unable to participate in court or in the Senate chamber,” Giuliani said. Giuliani initially told ABC News he was working on the president’s defense, saying Saturday that he was prepared to argue that the president’s claims of widespread voter fraud did not constitute incitement to violence because the widely-debunked claims are true.
