Sen. Mike Lee planning to force a government shutdown to block Biden’s vaccine mandate

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Sen. Mike Lee is plotting to force a government shutdown to block the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for private businesses.

Lee is joining with other Senate Republicans to block funding for enforcing the mandate.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee has joined a group of Senate Republicans who are plotting to use the threat of a government shutdown to defund the Biden administration’s vaccine or testing mandate for some private businesses.

The federal government officially runs out of money on Friday at midnight.

Politico reported Democrats are hoping to quickly pass a stopgap measure to keep the government funded past that deadline, but Lee and several other Republicans plan to object and draw out the process unless Democrats agree to remove funding for enforcement of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate.

    1. We had *CRA's in Vietnam which probably caused the debt ceiling to be raised but aren't sure.
