Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Biden administration Friday in hopes of blocking new federal rules that require workers at larger businesses to get vaccinated for COVID-19 by Jan. 4.
Administration officials said the rules, which apply to businesses with at least 100 workers, were essential to reinvigorating the economy and protecting the nation's workforce.
