- McCarthy, while serving as House Minority Leader, forced an end to the vaccine mandate last month after he said that the NDAA would “not move” unless the mandate was removed from the bill.
- “The end of President Biden’s military COVID vaccine mandate is a victory for our military and for common sense,” McCarthy said in a statement last month.
- “Last week, I told the president directly: it’s time to end the COVID vaccine mandate and rehire our service members.”
