Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to reiterate an important statement made by our President: The pandemic is over.

This weekend on ``60 Minutes,'' President Biden finally said what most Americans have known for months: We are no longer in the COVID-19 pandemic.

So if the President just admitted it, that means the national emergency is over, correct?

If that is the case, then why did the President just tell the country that the pandemic is so bad that we should forgive billions of dollars of student debt, or that it is because of the ongoing pandemic that we must continue to enforce a vaccine mandate on our Nation's military?

I will tell you why--it is because it was never about the pandemic. It was about the President bypassing Congress and the Constitution to push his radical socialist agenda.

Mr. Speaker, President Biden himself has said the pandemic is over. It is past time that we strip him of his emergency powers and end the vaccine mandates and reject all COVID-related funding requests.
