Don't worry, there's no shortage of people to fill these positions
Well, it disqualifies Elizabeth Warren.

Not out of the question. I can see a scenario where Pelosi only gets the squad's votes for speakership if she pushes for Warren/Bernie cabinet positions. But yes, if the Rs hold the senate, there is nearly no chance of those getting confirmed.

My point still stands. Warren cannot be pulled from the senate for a cabinet position, because Massachusetts's R Governor would appoint an R replacement.

No worries, the Democrats in MA are working on changing that.

Same would apply with Bernie. It’s a catch 22. They won’t get confirmed with a R senate and won’t get nominated with a split senate.

Also would like to know when they’re starting up the cash for clunkers program again.

The vaccines.
Kool-aid drinkers will get it because Trump says so. Other will get it if the science is behind it and Trump is not involved.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

I understood his statement to be making the point that without Project Warp Speed (which was put in place by president Trump) the vaccine would not be ready so soon.

:)
ETA: What about European countries that also have contracts?
How about all the money spent on wackos hydro whatever miracle drug? Did that help?
To be fair and balanced he should be talking up Moderna which did take money.

Pfizer made a decision to develop a vaccine with the free market , the way it should be, they didn't take a penny from the us government, the us government said they'll pit in a big order once developed, they didn't reject it why should they it's a PO like any other customer would order, that's the 2 sides of the story I don't see a argument here accept who gets credit
