Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell says his party will not try to shut down the government over funding for vaccine mandates.
McConnell told Fox News the GOP will soon put forth a free-standing bill to stop the funding for mandates.
The government runs out of money at week's end, but congressional leaders have struck a deal on extending funding into the coming year.
Meantime, the Kentucky Republican blamed inflation on Democrats and said it's a result of reckless spending policies.
