marcella smith is leading the task force and is a pivotal part of the covid team, and i will say being in the transition, she was not a person known certainly by reputation, but she wasn't known by president biden previously, but he was so impressed with her as a member of the task force that certainly it was important to have her as a member of the team to discuss exactly this issue. last one, says jonathan. >> thank you very much. if i could ask a follow-up, i would appreciate it. the president granted arkansas and other states to require work for some medicaid recipients. that was challenged in the court, the court struck it down. the trump administration pushed it in the supreme court and it ended there. does president biden support those issues? what's the position of the administration? >> i would send you to our department of justice colleagues to discuss anything related to a legal case. i would say that president biden does not believe as a principle it should be difficult for people to gain access to health care, and he's not been supportive in the past and is not today of pu

marcella nunez-smith. also thanks to those who wrote in with your questions. to a lot who joined us tonight, i know a lot of people didn't get their questions answered. i apologize. the conversation continues at cnn.com/c cnn.com/c cnn.com/coronavirusanswers. the news continues with chris cuomo. chris? >>> all right. we're running late. i'm chris cuomo. welcome to "prime time." let's get right after it. what's happening in washington deserves your attention. it may be as dangerous as the pandemic. my question is how many red flags do we need? homeland security just put out a warning of more possible violence to come from violent anti-government extremists. fueled by false narratives that could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence. now, this -- that's what the gop has to say about this threat. why? the only response they've had to the threat is to keep biden from getting ahead of homeland security. to head up the attack against this problem. why? my argument and it's why i caution democrats wanting a power-sharing deal with mcconnell that that is l

thankfully nothing happening at this very moment, marcella. >> martha: kevin, thank you. sadly we know that a woman was shot and killed in the course of the chaos at the united states capital today. joining us now, house minority leader kevin mccarthy who was inside the capital as this unfolded. we are speaking with bill hemmer this afternoon and you were relaying this to bill. you could hear lena mccarthy, the shock and just the fear in her voice of what was happening at that time. can you tell us more about that tonight? >> well, this was the worst we have seen of america this afternoon. now hopefully tonight you will see the very best of what democracy and our constitution tells us when we get back to work. but this is unacceptable. and i think for the heart of every american, we have to take a pause and realize what has gone on for the last couple of years. the anger we have had to one another if somebody disagrees with one another. we are so much better than what transpired today. and i would hope we take this moment to start to heal and unite to the nation together.
