Calls to repeal the military’s vaccine mandate through a must-pass defense spending bill are picking up steam despite Democrats’ resistance to changing the requirements.
A growing number of Republican lawmakers are lobbying for the National Defense Authorization Act to include a repeal of the vaccine requirement as the deadline for advancing the legislation approaches.
Twenty-one Republican governors signed a letter to congressional leaders on Wednesday demanding an end to the military vaccine through either the NDAA or a stand-alone bill. At least 41 senators would be needed to stop the NDAA altogether, but pressure from the smaller group of Republicans to force the vaccine issue could complicate the bill’s path forward.
Senate GOP leadership does not appear on board with the delay tactics, however, and McCarthy has sent few signals over the past few weeks as to whether he remains interested in stalling the defense bill.Ending the mandate, supporters of the move say, would help the military retain and recruit service members at a time when its ranks remain depleted.
