WASHINGTON, 14 Sept. - (ANA) - The US President Joe Biden is facing the threat of legal challenges from Republicans after announcing tough new Covid-19 measures requiring almost 100 million Americans to either get vaccinated, face weekly testing or quit their jobs.

 

The US president is facing “widespread anger and pushback from many influential and powerful conservative figures” over the mandate, which covers 17 million health workers and more than 80 million staff at large businesses, said The Guardian.

 

Several Republican governors have outlined plans to sue the Biden administration for “unconstitutional” overreach, the newspaper added. - (ANA) -
