Dr. Alan Chartock

WAMC's Dr. Alan Chartock discusses reports that the Senate opened debate on President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill Thursday without support from a single Republican senator. Dr. Chartock also comments on reports that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's top aides altered a July Health Department report to hide the higher COVID-19 death toll in nursing homes. Despite the recent scandals faced by the Cuomo administration, a new Quinnipiac poll says a majority of New Yorkers don't want Cuomo to resign.
