Ohio Vaccine Lottery Gets Praise On Presidential Visit

Season 2021 Episode 21 | 26m 46s

This week, the first winners of the "Vax-a-million" lottery and college scholarships were announced. The contest has led to an increase in vaccinations. President Biden was in Cleveland this week to talk economic stimulus, and eat ice cream. A bill in the Statehouse looks to ban a method for teaching history, and another looks to remove former House Speaker Larry Householder.
