LAKELAND, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis filed a federal lawsuit against the Biden administration Thursday for its COVID jab mandate affecting federal contractors.
The legal challenge was filed by Gov. DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody and announced during a Thursday press conference in Lakeland, Florida.
“Just months ago Joe Biden was saying that it wouldn’t be appropriate or lawful for the federal government to mandate these COVID shots,” Gov. DeSantis said in a statement.
“But now we have somehow gone from 15 days to slow the spread to three jabs to keep your job,” DeSantis continued. “The federal government is exceeding their power and it is important for us to take a stand because in Florida we believe these are choices based on individual circumstances.”
