Mike Lee (R-UT) has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/\">led<\/a> the movement in the Senate, and he has the support of Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Ron Johnson (R-WI), and Roger Marshall (R-KS).<\/p>\n<p>These conservatives could also secure a 51-vote amendment to the CR to block the vaccine mandate as an alternative means of stopping the Biden mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) has also led a movement to use a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to block the measure; the vote on the CRA resolution is expected to happen next week. A CRA requires only a simple majority in both chambers of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>House conservatives, including the House Freedom Caucus (HFC), have led the movement in Congress\u2019s lower chamber.<\/p>\n<p>The House Freedom Caucus said Wednesday that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) should \u201cdeny timely passage of the&nbsp;CR unless it prohibits \u2014in all respects \u2014 for the vaccine mandates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Sean Moran is a congressional reporter for Breitbart News.
