48 Republican senators decide COVID-19 is no longer a problem



By Josh Israel -March 3, 2022 2:52 PM

They voted to end the national emergency — first declared by former President Donald Trump — as thousands continue to die each week from the coronavirus.

Forty-eight Republicans voted on Thursday to declare that the nation's COVID-19 emergency is officially over. But their effort to terminate the administration's emergency powers to address the coronavirus pandemic comes as thousands of Americans are still dying each week from it.

The Senate voted 48-47 on a joint resolution, authored by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), to declare the national emergency declaration — issued originally by then-President Donald Trump in March 2020 — "hereby terminated." It was a party-line vote, with five senators absent.

A Democratic Senate aide told the American Independent Foundation that the measure "won't go anywhere in the House and President Biden would veto it." A veto override would require two-thirds' support in the House and Senate.
