The Senate on Sept. 30 defeated a Republican amendment that attempted to block President Joe Biden’s announced mandate for private businesses with 100 or more workers.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) introduced the amendment (pdf) to a government funding measure, blocking the usage of federal money for COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Republicans and Democrats split 50–50 on the vote, falling short of the 60 votes required to pass the amendment.
