Biden faces vaccine mandate pushback from own party despite support of scientists

Two Democratic senators push back against president's rules for large businesses as cases continue to rise in the US

Two Democratic senators have resisted Joe Biden's vaccine-or-test mandate for large businesses, illustrating problems the US president faces even within a faction of his own party, despite having the support of scientists and public health experts.

The US Senate on Wednesday evening voted to overturn the mandate as new cases and hospitalizations continue rising in the country.
