The Kansas governor affirmed Biden’s mandate is not suitable or useful for residents of her state. Likewise, Kelly went on to explain a “federal standard” is now out of the question; this is because Kansas already developed procedures that work well for them.
Towards the end, the governor confirmed she will continue her work to find an appropriate resolution in the ongoing battle against COVID.
A tough blow to Biden
For the president, it’s a bitter pill to swallow for a member of his own party to come out against this mandate. Governor Kelly is an outlier in this regard; not a single Democrat leader nationwide has openly professed their opposition against Biden’s mandate.
Kelly’s decision to come forward may inspire other Democrats who secretly feel the same to follow suit. Over the weekend, the White House downplayed the ruling from the Federal Appeals Court that tentatively stops Biden’s vaccine mandate.
Republicans, however, remain steadfast in their determination to defeat Biden’s edict.
