stephanie: that is right. it does seem that senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has changed his mind. the tide is turning. that report in "the new york times" was confirmed by fox news, that macconnell will not stand in the way of impeachment and is "done" with trump. what that means in practice. is unclear at this. point. you know, after the house vote later today to impeach donald trump, the other issue is how many house republicans will join in that impeachment vote. it looks like there are at least five, possibly more than a dozen that will support the impeachment, the articles of impeachment, and then the unclear thing now is -- when does it move to the senate? it is unlikely that his senate trial could happen until january 20, and how will that play out? how many republicans in the senate will support that moved to impeach and convict donald trump after he has left office? i think legal scholars are split on whether or not they can proceed to do that. and of course, you know, the political momentum ch

stephanie sierra is tracking it live fouls tonight. stephanie? >> reporter: there are still 29 million doses waiting in freezers around the state. today the governor was not very transparent about it. the governor announced today that california has now administered more vaccines than any other state, getting 40% of our doses out and into the arms of our health care workers and the most vulnerable. but the tweet is a bit misleading. the reality is california has received more vaccine doses than any other state, so it's expected we administer the most. >> i want californians to know it's like a flywheel. we're making progress. we're moving with deliberative speed. >> reporter: what's not expected is why the state continues to fly behind most of the country. abc7's analysis of cbc data shows california ranks 45th behind wisconsin, north carolina, virginia, mississippi and nevada. when it comes to the number of vaccine doses administered per 100,000 people. >> the facts are the facts. there is a large number of vaccines that have yet to be put in th

. >>> but let's begin with stephanie gosk and those vaccine bottlenecks. >> reporter: the idea is, open up eligibility so shots get into arms as it stands, only a third of the vaccines available have actually been used >> if you have a dose, give it, and don't be so rigid as to those early designations >> reporter: local and state officials say the real problem is supply. governors angry that reserve doses promised by the federal government are unavailable. >> they were lying they don't have any doses held back >> we were lied to with plans of the administration to release reserve doses. >> reporter: he says colorado is getting less than half what they were told. supply frustration in new jersey, too. >> we just need the supply from the feds to meet that demand and it's become increasingly ready that we are ready but they are not. >> reporter: states struggling with the vaccines they have in many places adults over over 65 and those with preexisting conditions qualify. the pool is millions larger, and websites and phone lines already underwater are now swamped. annette fisher can't get

abc7 news reporter stephanie sierra is tracking the latest for us tonight. stephanie? >> ama, every day we are keeping a close eye on our covid-19 vaccine tracker. 4.7 million doses have been ordered. 2.8 million doses have been administered. that's around 61%. certainly not where we need to be. but it is a new record for the state. california's distribution backlog is crawling at a snail's pace. just how slow? close to 80% of the nation is doing better. the state doesn't make the first page, second page, or even the third page of our covid-19 vaccine tracker. that's because california ranks 38th with only 6.9 of the population over 16 that's received the first dose. we're tied with states like massachusetts, hawaii, and arizona. meanwhile, texas, the only state that's distributed close to the same amount of doses as california, is at 7.6%. alaska is first with 14.6%. but there is good news. as we heard from the governor on monday. >> just a few weeks ago, we were doing daily vaccines around 43,000 in just a two-week period you get a -- or ten-day period, 131,000 vacci

to answer questions about why so few women, and stephanie come as a answer can you pull up slide six which runs the numbers of women rabbis. i will answer the question of who look at slide six the number of women rabbis. that video we saw was the first one and there's rabbi spiro there in the bottom right. of the 634 times a person given by a rabbi and congas come 15 of them come from a woman, a female rabbi, jew mac from rabbi spiro. she's a leader among the female rabbis. your question, why is it so small? a couple things. the first woman rabbi was not ordained until 1972 i believe, the early '70s. the men have had decades and decades to run up the score before the really was a female rabbi. but even then, and actually one quick anecdote about the first woman rabbi, her name was sally, and she was sponsored, october 1973. 1973. she gave the house prayer. she gave the house prayer the same day the house voted for the senate judiciary committee to begin impeachment proceedings against richard nixon. they had a woman rabbi give the prayer that day, sponsored by -- you want to guess wh

businesses are suffering and people without jobs and counting the help from the government our stephanie ruhle shares the story. >> we are down 70% >> reporter: forcing them to lay off 11 employees >> my biggest concern is for my people i don't want them ever to be without or lose everything >> reporter: despite billions in bail out and small businesses finding themselves suffering last year 30% closed and sales fell by more than 30%. lower revenue means fewer employees. just last week, 900,000 americans filed for unemployment >> two times a week i am going to food bank just to make sure we don't run out of milk and rice >> reporter: a mother of four with one on the way finds herself unemployed, homeless and living with friends. she has a message for washington >> i wish for one second they would put themselves in our shoes, trade role with somebody for a day. see how it is to live on the other side because it is not fun. >> reporter: a new survey found over half of those who received last month's $600 stimulus can only sustain themselves for a month. a harsh reality, until everyone can

her former friend and adviser stephanie wilson wilcoff is joining us now. stephanie, thank you for joining us. you read the first lady's statement. it's a pretty long statement she put out after the siege. what's your take on it? >> thank you for having me,borough me, brianna. i would like to continue what you were saying that this is a very sad and tragic time in our country and very unnecessary. the first lady's words have come very late, and sometimes i would say better late than never, but her words are vacuous and they have no meaning. that's the saddest part of this. they're just words. there's been no actions. >> what are you talking about when you talk about wanting to see actions? >> there are no actions that administration could possibly take except for the president to resign himself to this position and walk away and let us begin the process of peace and transition. when i was producing the inauguration for the 45th president of the united states of america, it wasn't about president trump or party, it was about our country. and as we've come to

>> that's a really good question, stephanie.akes it difficult to cover this story as a reporter is access to public records for the u.s. capitol police which has a $460 million budget are not available to us. they're exempted by law by congress. we're doing our part, examining those videos, 1078 of my colleagues are at this moment, trying to determine who those officers are, see if there have been statements in the past. they were put in a tough situation yesterday. as you pointed out in our story, law enforcement across the country is shocked. former fbi commissioner bratton saying it was a, quote, colossal failure. you're looking at officers completely oemd. when you see officers retreating up the steps with their backs to the crowd in no riot gear or helmets or personal protective equipment, they've already lost. this was lost before this happened yesterday. a number of people in the law enforcement community are saying don't necessarily blame the guy being chased up the stairs and only has a baton and gun with 40 people comi

here is stephanie gosk >> reporter: this pharmacy on long island new york gives out the flu shot every year. that's not what's happening here >> jean, how did it go >> excellent smooth, walked in early and got taken early. >> reporter: this is the covid vaccine. >> there is dry ice in there that keeps the vaccine at ultra cold temperature >> reporter: a nationwide effort >> we administered 20 million flu vaccinations last year >> reporter: have you had to hire more people to handle the vaccination? >> this is a dedicated clinic. >> reporter: this fall operation warp speed announced it was partnering with nearly 20 pharmacy chains across the country. the pilot program just getting off the ground >> very much so. much more calming than going to a hospital >> it is something you are used to do and it is convenient and works. >> reporter: this is not nearly as simple as getting a flu shot. >> doing a covid vaccination ie. they'll have to figure out howy and keep them safe >> reporter: cvs and walgreens have been vaccinating at nursing homes. some states say it has been way too slow >> they

stephanie, let's start with you.een anything that has really surprised you about the first week and a half or so of president biden's administration >> actually, in some ways it's been kind of what was promised, which is a hit the ground running, veryagenda, very focusn economic focus very much at home, trying to get this covid stimulus done. i think even the reactions we've seen in terms of the bipartisan pullback, it's so far as expected. >> you are a current insider, tony, and a former administration official. how exactly would you be tackling the first couple of weeks in office for any president? what are the types of things they should be focusing on and is the current biden team focussing on the right things? >> i think so. they recognize the biggest problem they have is not just the actions they're taking on covid, which they are taking actions, but getting the unified focus on covid they know the pandemic is the key for them to get through this first year, to show competence on it and try to show a stark dist
