attempt to change House mask regulations
The controversy over masks is the latest salvo in the debate between both parties over pandemic-era protocols. House Democrats on Wednesday defeated a Republican-led attempt to abolish the chamber’s mask requirements for vaccinated members — the latest salvo in the ongoing war between the two parties over pandemic-era protocols. In a 218-210 party-line vote, the House voted to table the resolution, which would have prodded the chamber to relax its mask rules on the floor and in committee meeting spaces. The effort — which was spearheaded by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and the GOP Doctors Caucus — came one day after a group of House Republicans staged a rebellion on the floor over the rules, refusing to wear face coverings and causing some of them to incur hefty fines. The Office of the Attending Physician has said its current mask guidance for the Capitol is consistent with the latest CDC guidelines for vaccinated individuals, and Democrats argue more Republicans need to be vaccinated before the mask requirement can be discontinued. Speaker Nancy Pelosi also recently extended the House’s proxy voting system until July 3 as members’ concerns about travel amid the coronavirus pandemic persist. (read more) See also: Tensions
are near a boiling point between the two parties
over pandemic-era protocols, which have been a point
of contention for more than a year. Republicans are
furious that mask mandates are still in place for
both the House floor and committee meeting spaces,
despite CDC guidance. Pelosi has also extended proxy
voting until July, which has been another source of
frustration in the GOP.
Meanwhile, across the Capitol, there are no requirements for members to wear masks on the Senate floor. ______________________ Permission is hereby granted to any and all to copy and paste any entry on this page and convey it electronically along with its URL, ______________________ |
