Congress averted a government shutdown Thursday night after Senate leaders mollified a group of Republicans who demanded a vote targeting President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate.
Final passage followed a deal late Thursday to appease conservatives who demanded a vote on an amendment from Sens. Roger Marshall of Kansas and Mike Lee of Utah, aimed at defunding Biden’s vaccination requirements on U.S. businesses, the Pentagon and the federal workforce. That amendment ultimately fell 48-50.
“This issue is not going away,” Lee said before the vote on his amendment, stressing that workers will lose their jobs over the requirements. “We shouldn’t be doing this. Deep down we all know what’s right.” Several Republican senators publicly lamented the shutdown ultimatum their colleagues waged, arguing that the effort was pointless considering Biden’s vaccine mandate is getting crushed in court.
Government funding will now run through the third week of February — weeks later than Democrats wanted — but House Appropriations Chair Rosa DeLauro said her party “prevailed” in securing a $7 billion increase to pay for resettling Afghan refugees.
