The Senate on Thursday blocked an amendment to a stop-gap funding bill that would defund President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate.
The Senate voted 48-50, just a few votes short of the 51-vote majority necessary to pass the Marshall-Lee amendment to H.R. 6119, the continuing resolution.
Tonight, the Senate had a chance to help kill the mandate, yet every Senate Democrat, including the senior senator from Montana, chose to stand with Biden and voted against it.
Mike Lee, Roger Marshall, Ted Cruz, and Ron Johnson led the movement in the Senate to defund the Biden vaccine mandate.
The Senate conservatives threatened to shut down the federal government if the Senate did not vote on their proposed amendment.
Manchin said earlier on Thursday that he might vote for the Biden vaccine mandate, expressing concerns about a private sector vaccine mandate.
On the Senate floor Thursday afternoon, Lee gave an impassioned speech calling for the Senate to vote on his proposal.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
