Democratic Senator Joe Manchin has spoken out against Biden’s ‘unconstitutional’ vaccine mandates, warning that the draconian rule will destroy private businesses.

“In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and as the new Omicron variant emerges, I will not vote to shut down the government for purely political reasons,” Manchin said in a statement Thursday. “There is too much at stake for the American people. But let me be clear, I do not support any government vaccine mandate on private businesses.”
