Early morning presenters are skeptical. Trump will urge hesitant Republicans to get COVID-19 vaccines
The US has administered more than 100 million injections of COVID-19, but “there is still not enough vaccine for everyone,” said Jimmy Kimmel on Monday’s Kimmel Live, “and even when there are, the concern is that people will not want that – 49 percent of Republican men say they won’t get the vaccine.
