Summary
The superintendent of Texas' largest school district plans to propose a mask mandate. If approved, the Houston Independent School District would likely be the first in the state to violate Gov. Greg Abbott’s mask mandate ban. Houston's mayor joins AC360 for reaction and shares what the city is doing to combat the Delta variant. Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono talks about Jeffrey Clark, the high-ranking member of the Justice Department under the former president, and his apparent willingness to undermine the 2020 election despite receiving a classified briefing that said his information was incorrect. Plus, CNN's Clarissa Ward has an exclusive report from the battle lines in Afghanistan with Taliban forces gaining ground.
