The White House signaled it will defend the fallout from the Pentagon's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The Biden administration blasted House Republicans for trying to speed the reinstatement of troops who refused the shot.
More than 8,000 active-duty service members were kicked out for refusing to get vaccinated.
Republicans have repeatedly pushed for the reinstatement of service members that were discharged as a result of defying the mandate.
These types of statements are how the White House influences ongoing legislative fights.
