Democratic candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams discusses her new book, “Level Up: Rise Above the Hidden Forces Holding Your Business Back,” and shares her plan for bolstering small businesses across the country. In a wide-ranging conversation, Abrams covers Congressional fundraising, voting rights, and the state of the Democratic Party. As Russia appears poised for further invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. is imposing economic sanctions on the country in hopes of determent. CNBC’s Kayla Tausche reports on the nature of the sanctions, and U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo explains how the U.S. and its allies may help show President Putin all that’s at stake for his country, should he persist. Plus, Elon Musk is airing his frustration with the Biden administration, more truckers are airing their frustrations with vaccine mandates and inflation, and Covid cases have plummeted over 90% in just five weeks.
