Don’t read too much into this. He is not saying that he won’t have federal mandates for federal people and actions. (Even though those have been limited since early December) He has been stymied in the courts while he tried to impose restrictions on states’ people. And for health purposes, he has never been able to do that and was relying on the follow on of governors to pass on his mandates using state rule to accomplish the same thing. States’ rights per the Constitution. This is how he can pass the blame as this scam is imploding to the states as his and his VP ratings are in the toilet. They’ve figured it has gone as far as it can be used and he is protecting the party by pointing fingers.
If the GOP was smart, the DNC would eat this in the media clear through the 2024 election. But their isn’t a helping of guts among them so don’t hold the breath.

I remember “I have a plan. Trump doesn’t have a plan”.
He never said what his plan actually was.
Free up travel now.
People are noticing ............ really?
Why didn’t Brain Dead Biden take Amtrak to Delaware? He could have seen his imaginary conductor.
The White House doesn’t have to issue mandates. The federal bureaucracy will do it for him, like the Medicaid agency is doing.
Can’t pass a law or push a mandate, an agency will issue a directive that a company will have to follow lest it loses its licensing or its ability to operate.
Nothing like a little extortion or intimidation to get what you want.
When the mafia does it the DOJ comes calling
When the Feds do it, it’s for your own good.
So he just let it out of the bag that “vaccine mandates” are the biggest bait and switch in world history.
Sorry you suckers that allowed yourselves to be poisoned when you didn’t have to.
Why is this stupid ass, dementia addled, grifting pervert and Chinese sock puppet still in The White House.
Joe Biden, who ran for President on the promise of ending the COVID-19 pandemic: “There is no federal solution. This gets solved at a state level.”
I believe this is what the lawyers call an “admission against interests”:
Admission Against Interest
Definition
An out-of-court statement by a party that, when uttered, is against the party’s pecuniary, proprietary, or penal interest and that is admissible under both an exclusion (admission by a party-opponent) and an exception (statement against interest) to the rule against hearsay. Such a statement is admissible even if the declarant is available, because an admission by a party-opponent is non-hearsay and, thus, does not require unavailability.
Biden needs to get a new decision spinner.
