Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jen Psaki, May 25, 2021

The White House

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

12:48 P.M. EDT

MS. PSAKI: Hi, everyone. Happy Tuesday. So, I know the COVID briefing is at 1:30, so I'm going to try to get through as many people as possible between now and then. I just have one item at the top.

After an update from our COVID-19 team yesterday — you may have seen out there this morning that today the United States will hit 50 percent of adult Americans fully vaccinated. That number was around 1 percent when the President took office, so that's certainly a significant development.

Alex, that's all I have for the top.

Q Short.

MS. PSAKI: Not to disappoint, but go ahead.

Q Let's start with Russia.

MS. PSAKI: Sure.
