PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich says he’ll sue the Biden administration over its new mandate that large employers require their workers to either be vaccinated for COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing starting in January. The new rule announced by the federal workforce safety agency Thursday has been expected since President Joe Biden said in September that a federal mandate was planned. Brnovich is seeking the Republican Party’s 2022 U.S. Senate nomination and calls the inoculation requirement “the furthest thing in the world from a safe workplace.” Federal officials say it’s needed to protect worker health. It will be the second lawsuit Brnovich has filed over the mandate.
