Mike Lee (R-UT) is leading conservatives who have insisted on barring funds for the Biden vaccine mandates as a condition to continue funding the government. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wants to pass a continuing resolution (CR) that would fund the government through January.<\/p>\n<p>Lee\u2019s group of conservatives will come at loggerheads with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who has promised that there will be no government shutdown nor a default on the debt. The debt ceiling fight will arise later in December.<\/p>\n<p>During a Senate Republican lunch Wednesday, Lee said that defunding the vaccine through the government spending authorization is the best way to defund the vaccine mandate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/04\/sen-mike-braun-plans-use-congressional-review-act-nullify-biden-vaccine-mandate\/\">led<\/a> a movement with 50 Senate Republicans to eliminate the Biden vaccine mandate through a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution. The Senate will likely vote next week on the CRA resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Braun argued that his method is the easier way to eliminate the mandate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost everybody agrees with me,\u201d Braun said.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, many Senate conservatives have seemed to agree with Lee\u2019s strategy, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Ron Johnson (R-WI), and Roger Marshall (R-KS).<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s up to Sen. Schumer. If he\u2019ll stop any type of funding for the vaccine mandate, then I think this goes forward. But if he doesn\u2019t. \u2026 The folks back home want to know how hard we\u2019re fighting for them,\u201d Marshall said in favor of Lee\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">Cruz and Marshall have said that they would accept an amendment vote on vaccine mandates if McConnell can get a vote from Schumer.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">The two senators hope get Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) on board, as he has posed similar measures in September.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">House conservatives have led a similar movement in Congress\u2019s lower chamber.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">The House Freedom Caucus issued a statement Wednesday calling on McConnell to \u201cdeny timely passage of the CR unless it prohibits \u2014in all respects \u2014 for the vaccine mandates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rachaelmbade\/status\/1466141101799190537?s=20\">said<\/a> that the House will not vote on Wendesday, meaning that a short-term shutdown is increasingly likely.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s incomprehensible to me that we can\u2019t pass a simple CR,\u201d Hoyer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/heatherscope\/status\/1466134960562130947?s=20\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Sean Moran is a congressional reporter for Breitbart News.
