We just passed a statement that myself and Mike Braun and several others worked very, very hard on in the Senate to be able to block this vaccine mandate that now heads over to the House. We think there are enough votes in the House to be able to block it as well. We\u2019re going to find every single leverage point that we can to allow Americans to be able to choose because we\u2019re Americans. That\u2019s what we do. We make our own free choices.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In another post, Lankford noted that \u201c71% of Americans say we\u2019re on the wrong track as a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The concerns touch on more than vaccine mandates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Afghanistan, vaccine mandates, inflation, overspending\u2014Democrat\u2019s policies aren\u2019t working and Americans are not happy,\u201d the senator added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">71% of Americans say we\u2019re on the wrong track as a nation.<\/p>\n<p>With Afghanistan, vaccine mandates, inflation, overspending\u2014Democrat\u2019s policies aren\u2019t working and Americans are not happy. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kepPk0rxaR\">pic.twitter.com\/kepPk0rxaR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sen.
