A Biden administration official declined to say whether President Joe Biden would sign the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision he's against that would end the Department of Defense's coronavirus vaccine mandate.
The Senate overwhelmingly passed the annual defense spending bill on Thursday night, 83 to 11, sending it to the president's desk. But National Security Council spokesman John Kirby opted not to confirm when asked on Friday morning whether the president would sign the bill because he continues to believe rescinding the mandate is a"mistake.""He still believes that repealing the mandate is a mistake," Kirby said of the president.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre would not say when asked last week if Biden would veto the NDAA over the provision. Republicans celebrated the reversal of the mandate as a victory, though some lamented that they were unable to pass a separate amendment that would have reinstated the troops that had been separated over refusing the vaccine.
