Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody have just sued the Biden Administration over its’ vaccine mandate and are seeking a “preliminary injunction” to prevent Floridians from being put at risk of losing their jobs.
“This lawsuit challenges the Biden administration's order imposing vaccine mandates on federal contractors,” said Gov. DeSantis.
Gov. DeSantis added, “Just because you are a business that has federal contracts, it’s not right for the federal government to come in and rewrite those contracts and then try to shoehorn this in, and if you don’t comply, they’ll just cancel the contract.”

DeSantis then warned about what the vaccine mandate would mean to the fledgling economy, saying that Americans will “absolutely see disruptions in the economy.”
Attorney General Moody, who filed the complaint, called the mandate a “gross abuse of power” and that she filed the lawsuit to “stand up for hardworking Floridians.
“I have never seen such blatant disregard for the Constitution or the laws governing our country. President Biden does not have the authority to force millions of Americans to receive a shot, nor does he have the ability to punish Florida economically for not abiding by his authoritarian, unlawful, and unconstitutional executive order,” stated AG Moody. “I promised to challenge this gross abuse of power and to stand up for hardworking Floridians and that is exactly why I am suing this President and his reckless administration. As Attorney General, I have an obligation to defend the rule of law, Florida’s workers and our state against heavy-handed federal overreach.”
