We ran the numbers: There are 2648 news articles covering this topic. 24% (637) are left leaning, 44% (1168) are center, and 32% (843) are right leaning.

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden announced that he wants 70% of U.S. adults to have at least one COVID-19 shot by July 4. While left-leaning articles highlight that the White House told states that the vaccine supply they leave unordered will become available to other states, right-leaning articles highlight that nearly 32% of the population are now fully vaccinated.

A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that the White House told states that the vaccine supply they leave unordered will become available to other states. Biden also announced the launch of a new website, vaccines.gov, to help Americans find sites offering vaccines.

USA Today published a centrist article reporting that the pace of vaccinations required to reach 70% is much slower than the speed with which the nation got to its current levels. However, Biden said the next phase could be more challenging than initial efforts.

A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that nearly 32% of the population are now fully vaccinated. In order to meet the new goal, the president is directing tens of thousands of pharmacies in the federal pharmacy program to offer walk-in appointments.
