For context, British officials have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/covid-new-variants-vaccine-makers-working-upgrades-united-kingdom-says\/\">claimed<\/a> that there are estimated to be up to 4,000 variants of the coronavirus around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) slammed Biden over the idea of travel restrictions, calling it \u201creckless and economically harmful.\u201d Rubio added,&nbsp;\u201cInstituting a travel ban, or any restriction of movement between the states, would be an outrageous, authoritarian move that has no basis in law or science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since a lot of the reporting mentioned Florida specifically in reference to any potential domestic travel restrictions, critics pointed to the possibility that any such decisions could be politically motivated. The Miami Herald claimed, however, that the Biden administration had not targeted \u201ca specific state\u201d but were focused \u201con how to prevent the spread of variants that appear to be surging in a number of states, including Florida and California.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Biden administration is reportedly considering restricting travel to Florida inside the United States.
