Senate Republicans have introduced a formal resolution of disapproval intending to nullify President Biden's vaccine mandate for health care workers.
The resolution, led by GOP Sens. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.) and Roger Marshall (Kan.), comes after Republicans earlier this month were successful in passing a similar one against the administration's vaccine-or-test mandate for large employers.
Senators voted 52-48 on that resolution, which needed a simple majority to be approved. Democratic Sens. Jon Tester (Mont.) and Joe Manchin (W.Va.) voted with Republicans.
So far, there are more than 30 GOP co-sponsors of the new resolution.

(58,648 posts)it's not a law, or even a bill. It would not pass the House, and if it went to Pres Biden's desk, he'd veto it.
But basically it is symbolic, mostly.
