Cruz also signed a separate letter with six Senate Republicans demanding a vote on an amendment to strip funding from the mandates. The letter warns of “unacceptably high” risk of inaction and quotes a Frederick Douglass speech opposing slavery, saying “the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday that he is “hopeful” Democrats and Republicans will reach an agreement to pass the bill this week, but he did not mention the demand for a vote on the vaccine mandates. Roy said in an interview with Hearst Newspapers that he believes Republicans need to oppose vaccine mandates more forcefully, especially as they seek to regain control of Congress in the midterm elections later this year.
