Sen. Mike Braun’s Crusade Against COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

Even though President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private employers is on hold pending court action, the fight is on in Congress to ensure that it never can come back.

Out of 50 Republicans in the Senate, however, one man is issuing a rallying cry against such mandates.

Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., is leading the charge against Biden's vaccine mandate for employers of 100 or more. Braun is galvanizing colleagues to push back against the White House and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the agency within the Labor Department that the president designated to issue an emergency rule to implement the mandate.

Braun joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss what he and his congressional colleagues are doing to fight Biden’s plan.
