Since then, there has been no actual regulation in force, but several states have already lined up lawsuits against the mandates for federal government employees, as well as private sector mandates. Other states, such as Texas and Florida, have issued executive action or legislation banning private businesses from instituting vaccine mandates on their employees or \u201cpassports\u201d for their customers.Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing\u00a0said shortly after the mandate was announced that he would not comply with the mandate. \u201cThe Daily Wire has well over 100 employees,\u201d Boreing\u00a0tweeted. \u201cWe will not enforce Joe Biden\u2019s unconstitutional and tyrannical vaccine mandate. We will use every tool at our disposal, including legal action, to resist this overreach.\u201dThe Daily Wire also signed former ESPN sideline reporter Allison Williams, who was fired by the sports network for refusing to comply with its vaccine mandate.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
