Biden has been trying to mandate masks and vaccines with the Republican-run states going after him and using their state tax dollars to fight him for almost all year long.
And the Republican-run states of Texas, Florida, and others have literally bullied schools to not mandate or they lose funding. So here we are. Biden is going everything that he can. And now our national guard are going to help hospitals. Hospitals in many areas are overflowing with Covid patients. Because all these unvaccinated GQPers are taking up hospital beds over and over again.
Trump did nothing to slow Covid down. He, Fox, and other GQP members mocked masks and downplayed getting the vaccine. But in the backrooms, many of them were first in line to get vaccinated (Florida governor Ron DeSantis is one of them). They couldn't care less about their own people.
Businesses, Republican states ask Supreme Court to halt Biden vaccine and testing mandate:
