DeSantis to call special session of legislature to fight vaccine mandates

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced Thursday that he is calling a special session of the state legislature to pass bills aimed at fighting COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

DeSantis has been in an escalating clash with the Biden administration over vaccine mandates.

Earlier this month he announced that he planned to sue over the requirements and he said at a press conference on Thursday that he also wants to enact protections for workers against employers’ vaccine mandates through legislation.
