Congress to scratch Pentagon's COVID measure in major win for Republicans

 

Congressional Democrats are prepared to include language in the NDAA that would strip the U.S. Military of its vaccine mandate for all service members 

The move would be a major defeat for President Joe Biden, who has insisted the Military should still require all service members to be vaccinated against COVID 

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy is taking credit for spearheading the effort 

Said during a White House meeting last month, the top four congressional leaders reached a bipartisan deal to nix the vaccination requirement 

Thousands of troops were involuntarily separated from the Military for refusing the vaccinate and thousands of others lost pay or benefits for the same reason
