Senate Democrats Block GOP Effort to End the Federal Mask Mandate

Senate Democrats Block GOP Effort to End the Federal Mask Mandate

Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) and Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) effort to end the federal mask mandate requiring masks to be worn on public transportation, with Scott concluding Democrats only care about following “their political science.”

Last week, Scott introduced the Stop Mandating Additional Requirements for Travel (SMART) Actwhich would bar the federal government from requiring Americans to wear masks on public transportation, but he could not garner unanimous consent to get the bill out of committee and onto the floor.
