Florida Senators Rick Scott and Sen. Marco Rubio sent a letter to the president on Friday urging him to grant Novak Djokovic a wavier to enter the U.S. despite not being vaccinated.
The letter from Rubio and Scott cites the president’s remarks during a"60 Minutes" interview in September that the"pandemic is over" and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s comments on the efficacy of the vaccine as reason enough to grant Djokovic a waiver.
"Mr. Djokovic is a world-class athlete in peak physical condition who is not at high-risk of severe complications from COVID-19. It seems both illogical and misaligned with the opinions of your own administration to not grant him the waiver he requests so that he may travel to the U.S. to compete in a professional event."
It continued:"The lack of public health risk, along with the clear benefit of his participation in an event that will be a major driver for our local economies should make the decision before you simple and serve as a precedent for others in his position, while hopefully leading to the full reversal of this mandate for other foreign visitors who wish to legally travel to our great nation.
