The SCOTUS (or at least Kavanaugh) has said that they would veto any extension and strip Congress of much of its power to delegate regulatory power to agencies.
Federal law permits the CDC to “make and enforce such regulations as in [its] judgment are necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases.” In issuing the first moratorium, the CDC determined that a temporary pause on many evictions was necessary to prevent the spread of Covid-19 because people who lose their homes are likely to either move in with friends and family or wind up in shelters, where they could catch the coronavirus or spread it to others.
With the vaccine and the drop in case numbers I don't think the extension is warranted.
