Top Senate Republicans are dramatically stepping up their pro-vaccine outreach as several of their home states lag behind national Covid inoculation rates and mask recommendations return in many areas
Sen. Mitt Romney acknowledged there is an “organic” effort among his colleagues to promote vaccines because “the Delta variant is here, and if it causes another major spike in this country, it will have huge implications.” | Stefani Reynolds/The New York Times via AP.
“It’s the way out of this,” Blunt said in an interview, shortly after he read aloud several vaccine testimonials at Republicans’ leadership press conference. “This is a virus where, if you get very smug about how you think you’ve handled it, you’re about to get run over by a train.” Former President Donald Trump, still the party’s most important figure, is mostly concentrated on grievances unrelated to the pandemic. Across the Capitol, House Republicans have sent mixed messages and are far less likely to be vaccinated themselves. So the Senate GOP is diving into the difficult project of trying to convince its voters to get the jab, worried that spiraling infection rates in their home states will worsen, well, everything as the country tries to go back to normalcy.
