The White House on Tuesday warned Republican governors of Texas and Florida that President Joe Biden would override their efforts to fight coronavirus vaccine mandates in their states.
“We know that federal law overrides state law,” she said referring to state attempts to ban vaccine passports.
She accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott of playing politics by issuing executive orders that fight vaccine passports.
“Why would you be taking steps that prevent the saving of lives that make it more difficult to save lives across the country or in any state?” she asked.
Psaki argued that the governors were “putting politics ahead of public health.”
“Every leader should be focused on supporting efforts to save lives and end the pandemic,” she said.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Monday banning any entity in Texas from requiring vaccine mandates for their employees or their customers.
“In yet another instance of federal government overreach, the Biden Administration is now bullying many private entities into imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates, causing workforce disruptions that threaten Texas’s continued recovery from the COVID-19 disaster,” Abbott wrote.
DeSantis signed legislation in May banning vaccine passports in Florida.
On Tuesday, he announced fines for Leon County for firing 14 employees after they refused to get the vaccine.
“We must protect the jobs of Floridians and preserve the ability of Floridians to make their own decisions regarding what shots to take,” he said.
Biden announced his intention in September to enact a new rule requiring all businesses over 100 employees to require their workers to get vaccinated for the coronavirus or lose their jobs.

He thinks he’s talking to Cornpop.
“We know that federal law overrides state law,”
Doesn’t that depend on “pre-emption” or some such legal circumstance?
In any event, what Biden/Harris is proposing isn’t legal anyway is it?
What federal law is she talking about?
Anyone want to tell me again that secession is not a viable alternative?
Tell me that when you are in the pits with your abusive spouse that divorce is not a viable alternative?
Tell me that when you have a business partner that is dragging the business down bringing you to bankruptcy that splitting/removing that partner from your business is not a viable alternative?
When will he require those on welfare/entitlements to get the shots?
First Biden has to but his mandate in place ,LOL
Like there being an actual enumerated power given to the federal?
Come on, man! Don’t you know Democrats don’t do “Constitution”?
The virus has a 99.9% survival, and they want to threaten people’s jobs with a jab that has killed more people that all the previous vaccines combined.
So wait—the president makes law now? How did that happen?
I didn’t know it was law. I thought it was a diktat by Biden - an edict.
Let’s Go Richard Potato (Dick Tater for short)
Abbott and De Santis would not be resisting the mandates if they didn’t have MASSIVE support from their populations - and they assuredly do have that support. The reaction of the average Texan or Floridian to Biden or one of his trained monkeys fulminating about this or that mandate will be, “FJB” or “Let’s Go Brandon” or “Joe Mama!” People who refuse now will simply NOT comply because some weak, half senile, guy 1,500 miles away continues to demonize them.
If you have 3% resistance in a democracy, you’re in trouble. Try 50% or more on for size, Joseph Stolen!
I guess we could counter with, “ why would you be holding back and rationing treatment that is proven to save lives from these states?”
Biden’s war against the states that don’t agree with him.
Does he remember an earlier squabble among the states?
At 4:30 a.m. on April 12, 1861, Fort Sumter....
You didn't get the memo? /s
I don’t think Talibiden is going to like it when the fat lady sings about this. . . .
Would somebody please remind our Diaper Wearing, Pudding Eating POS that he is NOT AND WILL NEVER BE A KING!!!!!
Lets Go Brandon !!!!!
Somehow I doubt the Supremacy Clause covers Executive Orders?
Its long-past time for a constitutional crisis on states’ rights
