Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said he has joined an effort spearheaded by fellow Republican Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) to block President Joe Biden’s private employer COVID-19 vaccine mandate under the Congressional Review Act, the process by which Congress can scrap an executive branch rule.
Congressional Republicans, which include both Senate and House lawmakers, are seeking a formal nullification of Biden’s mandate, which calls for an estimated 80 million private-sector workers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine or provide at-least-weekly negative test results.
