Ohio AG Weighing Response To Biden's Vaccine Orders

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is looking into possible action against President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate for businesses with more than 100 employees. Several Republican leaders from other states are already calling for a legal challenge. 

Yost, who got the COVID-19 vaccine, says the President of the United States doesn't get to force people into getting the vaccine.

Yost says Biden is acting unlawfully by requiring businesses with more than 100 employees to mandate workers get the vaccine or be tested weekly.

He points to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against Biden's eviction moratorium as an example of Biden "acting unlawfully."

Gov. Mike DeWine says Biden is making a mistake.

But Yost and DeWine have stopped short of saying Ohio would join a potential legal challenge to the vaccine mandate in court, which other Republican governors in states such as South Dakota and Texas have suggested.
