Republican governors united against Biden’s vaccine regulations


President’s Biden’s vaccine orders have become a rallying cry for the right, unifying the GOP.

Until now, the party has appeared divided on many fronts. Now, the message is loud, clear and consistent.

Following Biden’s announcement, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) tweeted that it was a “gross example of federal intrusion.”

Noem then went on the Fox News Channel, reiterating that, saying, “We will defend our people from this unlawful mandate.”

The Republican Governors Association is leading the charge on its Twitter account, saying, “The America as we know it is on the line. Republican governors won’t sit idle.”

On NBC’s Meet the Press, Governor Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) blamed Biden for dividing the country.

“It increases the division in terms of vaccination, when we should all be together in trying to increase the vaccination uptick,” Hutchinson said.

According to The Hill, 20 Republican governors, including Brian Kemp (R-GA), Doug Ducey (R-AZ), Kim Reynolds (R-IA), and Greg Abbott (R-TX) have publicly opposed Biden’s new restrictions.

With midterm elections just over a year away, the Republican National Committee is already cashing in on the Biden backlash, sending out a fundraising email about the new vaccine requirements over the weekend.

Virginia will be the first test to see how voters respond to the new rules. The Commonwealth is generally a purple state and its next election comes Nov. 2, 2021.

A new Morning Consult poll shows that almost 60 percent of adults polled support Biden’s private sector vaccination or testing requirements. However, only a third of Republicans polled support it.
