(Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 5:41 PM PT \u2013 Thursday, July 29, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>The Delta variant has caused a spike in COVID-19 cases across the U.S. In response, Joe Biden announced new initiatives on Thursday in an effort to get more Americans vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat has urged states to utilize pandemic funds to give $100 to anyone who receives the vaccine. He also controversially stated that federal employees would need to get vaccinated or face repeated COVID tests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status,\u201d said Biden. \u201cAnyone who does not attest or is not vaccinated, will be required to wear a mask no matter where they work, test one or two times a week to see if they have acquired COVID, socially distance and generally will not be allowed to travel for work.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Delta variant is different than what we\u2019ve dealt with previously. It\u2019s highly transmissible and causing a new wave of cases. But here\u2019s the good news: we have the power to stop it. Get vaccinated \u2014 and let\u2019s defeat this virus once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 President Biden (@POTUS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS\/status\/1420882077524844551?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 29, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, Biden threatened companies with the removal of the federal government\u2019s business if they didn\u2019t vaccinate their employees. Many GOP lawmakers have disagreed with Biden\u2019s tactic to try and force Americans to get inoculated and said they should be given the freedom to decide whether to get the vaccine or not.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said scaring Americans into getting the vaccine isn\u2019t going to have a positive outcome, but said the data is strong for vaccine efficacy in combating case upticks, especially for elderly citizens. This comes a day after republican Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruz.senate.gov\/?p=press_release&amp;id=5970\">introduced two amendments<\/a> to prevent the federal government from enforcing a vaccine passport system.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-mcconnell-country-will-benefit-from-common-sense-infrastructure-investment\/\">Sen.
