Covid cases rise by more than 50% from last week in Texas, Connecticut and Hawaii and a UK study finds no evidence the Omicron variant is any less severe than Delta. NYC’s incoming Mayor Eric Adams joins to discuss the Covid crisis, and whether the federal government should follow New York and other states in sending out at-home tests to people.
Also tonight: the defense rests after ex-officer Kim Potter breaks down on the stand as she recalls her fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, following mistaking her Taser for her loaded gun during a police traffic stop. Plus, the strange secret history of the “War on Christmas” and CNN’s Fareed Zakaria joins to discuss the factors behind President Biden’s sinking approval rating.
