Biden Briefed In October On Need To Ramp Up Rapid Testing

With the Omicron variant rapidly spreading and not nearly enough testing to meet the massive demand, a new report from "Vanity Fair" suggests the Biden administration dismissed a plan from experts to ramp up rapid testing months ago. But is that what really happened? Dr Michael Mina, who attended White House meeting where the proposal was made, joins to give his perspective.

Also tonight: former police officer Kim Potter is found guilty of manslaughter in the death of Daunte Wright, Philadelphia faces a prosecutor shortage as hundreds leave the D.A.'s Office amid a record murder rate and as Trump pushes back on vaccine conspiracies, will his supporter base follow him?

Hosted by Michael Smerconish.
