The U.S. Senate voted on Wednesday to repeal Democrat President Joe Biden’s federal vaccine mandate for private employers with companies that employ 100 or more people.
The 52-48 vote to repeal the mandate included all Republican senators and Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Jon Tester (D-MT).
“Even with Senate approval, the GOP-backed resolution is unlikely to overturn the mandate,” Fox News reported. “The Democrat-controlled House is not expected to take up the measure and President Biden would likely veto the bill if it cleared Congress.”
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) led the fight in repealing the vaccine mandate using the “Congressional Review Act,” saying that the mandate was “the heavy hand of government” hurting businesses.
