Roger Marshall (R-KS) had proposed the bill for a second time in September, shortly after President Joe Biden told CBS News in an interview that the pandemic was \u201cover.\u201d The White House quickly walked back Biden\u2019s comments and Dr. Anthony Fauci, in charge of the virus response, said no, it\u2019s not over.<\/p>\n<p>But for most Americans, it\u2019s over. We all realize COVID will be around for years \u2014 maybe forever \u2014 and we\u2019re just going to have to live with it.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the Senate believes that, too.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall\u2019s resolution to end the national emergency passed the Senate 61-37 on Tuesday, with 10 Democrats joining all Republicans. Two Democrats were absent and didn\u2019t vote.<\/p>\n<p>The senator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/news\/politics-government\/article268818037.html#storylink=cpy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in a speech on the Senate floor that the national emergency has been in effect too long and has taken a dramatic toll on Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongress must take the responsible action of reining in this massive expansion of government and restore Americans fundamental rights by terminating the COVID-19 national emergency declaration,\u201d Marshall said. \u201cAs to the elements to the pandemic response that are working and needed, let\u2019s codify them into law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The measure needs to pass both chambers to reach the president\u2019s desk, but President Joe Biden has vowed to veto it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreserving our ability to respond is more important than ever as we head into the winter, when respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 typically spread more easily,\u201d the White House said in a statement. \u201cStrengthened by the ongoing declaration of national emergency, the federal response to COVID-19 continues to save lives, improve health outcomes, and support the American economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some Democrats, though, backed the resolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen COVID-19 hit, Congress acted with urgency under a number of emergency declarations to provide the flexibilities and funding needed to save lives, roll out a vaccine, and keep our economy afloat,\u201d Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warner.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm\/pressreleases?ID=4E81B545-EB91-4F39-9D45-C75557A05486\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ve come a long way since then, and while it might be easier to kick the can down the road, I think it\u2019s time to have a bipartisan conversation about how we unwind from these emergency actions and move forward with the valuable lessons we\u2019ve learned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s resolution won\u2019t affect critical flexibilities, such as the ones facilitating access to telehealth. Rather, this vote should serve as the beginning of a productive and bipartisan effort to examine which mitigation efforts and flexibilities are worth embedding permanently into our lives, and which are no longer relevant or necessary,\u201d Warner said.<\/p>\n<p>Most Americans are just done with it and acknowledge that the pandemic is waning, according to a recent poll.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is bipartisan, majority-level agreement that the coronavirus situation is getting better, with 76% of Republicans and 61% of Democrats saying so,\u201d a Gallup <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/404696\/pandemic-outlook-recovers-leaders-messaging-falters.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">survey<\/a> found. \u201cIndependents also broadly agree that the situation is improving (62%). All three groups have roughly returned to the levels last seen in February and April after cases were down from the January surge in infections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s the overall. When the poll is broken down by party, it got scary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans in all party groups have become more likely to say the pandemic is over since July, including increases of 12 points among Republicans, 14 points among Democrats and 10 points among independents,\u201d Gallup found.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, Republicans are the only party with a majority saying the pandemic is over. Republicans are more than three times as likely as Democrats to say this, at 73% vs. 21%, while 48% of independents agree,\u201d the Gallup survey found. \u201cDespite the fact that Biden has said he believes the pandemic is over, a majority of his party\u2019s faithful, 79%, do not concur.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s settle this. Democrats, you can keep the COVID pandemic. But for the rest of us, we\u2019re done. We\u2019re going back to living our lives.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
