President Biden scoffed at a Senate-passed bill to end the coronavirus national emergency, calling the Republican attempt a 'reckless and costly mistake.'
The bill to terminate the declaration under the National Emergencies Act passed the Senate 48-47, with three Democrats and two Republicans absent from the vote. The national emergency was first enacted in March 2020 under President Trump.
The White House said that if the bill were to reach the president's desk. It said that the national emergency declaration is needed for 'ensuring that necessary supplies are promptly available to respond to the virus and facilitating the delivery of health care.'
Absent on the Democrat side for the vote were Sens. Dianne Feinstein, who is mourning the loss of her husband, Alex Padilla, who recently tested positive for Covid-19, and Mark Kelly. Republicans Jim Inhofe, who also recently contracted Covid-19, and Richard Burr were absent from voting.
In Biden's State of the Union address this week, the president delivered a message of moving on from Covid-19.
'We can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. We have the tools we need. It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again,' said Biden.
'People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office. We're doing that here in the federal government. The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person. Our schools are open. Let's keep it that way. Our kids need to be in school,' said Biden.
'And with 75 percent of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77 percent, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom and move forward safely,' he said.

I’m not hopeful for the next 3 years. Hell, I’m not hopeful for the next year. I genuinely think we’re heading into something we’ve never quite seen historically.
Calling Obama’s clarification team the Biden Admin is confused
Heres hoping they override the Veto and this schmuck appears in public always wearing a mask!
He lied. You are never going to get your freedoms back that they took from you. They will have permanent emergencies all the time.
Three more years is going to put the icing on the cake without intervention from man or God.
Left is on a control high, especially that mush brain in the White House.
DO IT JOE!
It will be a great test of the nations cell phone infrastructure and will paint “MY FAULT” on your forehead as you then OWN all of the Covid misery and imprisonment.
When you lose Saturday Night Live, where do you go next for support?
Costly for big Pharma.
Follow the money
He’s probably getting advice from the Iranians.
“You are never going to get your freedoms back that they took from you.”
I am in agreement. We will have to take them back.
Many of us will not be alive 3 years from now.
Every day that goes by, I’m believing that more.
Make the stupid bastard veto it. It’ll make grist for the campaign mill.
This is what happens when a country’s ruling class hates the country and most of the population in it, while controlling most of the media.
I hope dims keep it up. Keep it up with the lockdown nonsense.
“Biden threatens to VETO Senate vote to end the COVID national emergency because it would be a ‘reckless and costly’ mistake - despite saying the US was heading back to normal at the State of the Union”
Biden threatens everything that’s good and wholesome for the US and it’s law abiding people.
There.... fixed it.
Agree.
Like a toddler with a toy, collectivists hate giving up power.
