julie pace, washington bureau chief of the associated press and fox news political analyst juan williams. i think we will all agree that there has not been the wave of bipartisanship and unity that joe biden called for in his inaugural address. the question is, is there is somebody who is more responsible than the other to blame for it and we ask this in the fox poll. by a slim margin of 45% to 42, folks said mr. biden has made an effort to work with the g.o.p. but by a much eager margin, 53% to 30%, they said republicans have not worked with this president. brit, do you think that's fair? >> i don't for the simple reason that joe biden, while he said during the campaign that he would perhaps be the most progressive president ever, he also made all those noises like the ones you could hear in that sound bite you played that suggested that he would definitely be prepared to sit down with republicans and reach common ground on things, which he manifestly has not done. he has governed so far not just from the near left, but pretty much from the far left. he is out there and republicans obvi

according to a recent poll by the associated press. 25% of americans will not take any vaccine for covid-19. this is largely due to the fear of side effects after taking the shot. however, the vast majority of americans say they are willing to get vaccinated. nearly 75% plan to take the vaccine when they're eligible or have already received their first dose. california senator alex padilla will visit the oakland coliseum mass vaccination site tomorrow, but he is expected to talk about the state's effort to get more people vaccinated and his visit is coming as the golden state begins to expand vaccine eligibility to more californians. the visit is also coming as fema is preparing to shut down that vaccine site at the coliseum a week from today. next sunday, the dia and senator dianne feinstein have called on fema to keep the location open. another big story we're keeping on top of today is the new india covid-19 variants that has now been found here in the bay area. doctors over at stanford university say they first made that discovery last week. >> they say what makes this variant a more
