Boris Johnson is set for a vaccine boost next week when local election results start rolling in. As James Forsyth explains in this week’s magazine, the vaccine rollout is forefront in voters’ minds, with seven out of ten now inoculated or even fully jabbed up. For all the chaos raging around Johnson, with accusations from his former allies and long-term opponents coming in thick and fast, the PM looks set to retain his support where it matters: at the polling station.
Can the same be said for Joe Biden? Across the pond, America is experiencing an equally successful vaccine rollout, as both the US and the UK hover around the top five countries worldwide for their rates of vaccination. Over 200 million doses have been administered in the US, and all adults are now eligible to receive their jabs. As today marks his first 100 days in the Oval Office, is Biden benefitting from a similar vaccine bounce?
Unlike Johnson, there is no imminent election to confirm suspicions one way or another.
