Senator Manchin Will Vote to Strike Down Biden’s Federal Vaccine Mandate and Force Embarrassing White House Showdown
by Kyle Becker
Senator Joe Manchin said that he intends to join Republicans in a vote to strike down President Joe Biden’s unlawful federal vaccine mandates.
“Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said Thursday that he would join all 50 of his Republican colleagues in backing a resolution challenging President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private business,” the NY Post reported with an update on Friday afternoon.
“The Senate is expected to vote next week on a resolution of disapproval of the Biden administration rule requiring businesses with at least 100 employees to ensure that workers are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or implement weekly testing requirements,” the NY Post added.
“The rule has been slammed by Republicans and drawn legal challenges from several states,” the Post noted. “If both houses of Congress approve the resolution by a simple majority and it is signed by the president — or if both chambers override a presidential veto — the rule would be invalidated.”
“Let me be clear, I do not support any government vaccine mandate on private businesses,” Manchin said in a statement on Thursday. “That’s why I have cosponsored and will strongly support a bill to overturn the federal government vaccine mandate for private businesses.”
