House passes Biden's COVID relief plan

Overnight, the House of Representatives passed President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. The bill passed predominantly along party lines, with two Democrats voting against the plan. Congressman Earl Blumenauer, who represents Oregon's 3rd congressional district, spoke with Lana Zak about the impact the COVID-19 relief package will have on the country, and how it will help revitalize the nation's struggling restaurant industry.

Biden looking to close Guantanamo Bay

The Biden administration is conducting a formal review of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. The prison was established by former President George W. Bush in 2002 to house foreign terror suspects following 9/11. President Biden intends to close the prison by the end of his first term in 2024, reviving an Obama-era goal that never came to fruition. Carol Rosenberg, a New York Times reporter, joins CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss the potential closure.
