McCarthy vows military vaccine mandate will end or national defense bill won't move forward

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the military’s vaccine mandate will be lifted or the national defense bill will not move forward.

"We're working through what is the [National Defense Authorization Act], the national defense bill, we will secure lifting that vaccine mandate on our military. Because what we're finding is, they're kicking out men and women that have been serving. … That's the first victory of having a Republican majority, and we'd like to have more of those victories, and we should start moving those now," McCarthy told host Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures."

The White House said Saturday that the Biden administration was considering repealing the military's COVID-19 vaccine mandate after speaking with McCarthy.

"Leader McCarthy raised this with the president and the president told him he would consider it," said White House spokesperson Olivia Dalton, according to Reuters. "The secretary of defense has recommended retaining the mandate, and the president supports his position. Discussions about the NDAA are ongoing."..............

President Joe Biden has agreed to end the US military's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy suggested on Sunday.

McCarthy, who is expected to be House Speaker in the new Congress, told Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures that he spoke with the president about a provision to end the rule included in this year's annual defense budget.

Republicans have been pushing for months to end the military's two-jab rule, arguing that its depletion of America's fighting forces presents a threat to national security.

Has he thought this one thru? Because he will be demonized as leaving the nation defenseless.
