President Joe Biden on Thursday said he will enforce the mandate that requires nearly 2 million US employers get workers tested or vaccinated for COVID-19.
Republican governors are expected to sue on Friday to stop the Biden administration's requirement that nearly 2 million US employers get workers tested or vaccinated for COVID-19, saying it trampled civil liberties.
After President Joe Biden, a Democrat, said on Thursday he will enforce the mandate starting January 4, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he will join the governors of Georgia and Alabama as well as private plaintiffs to file suit.
"The federal government can't just unilaterally impose medical policy under the guise of workplace regulation," Mr DeSantis said at a press conference.
The Republican governors of Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska also vowed to challenge the move in court.
