OP comment: Here we go folks, watch for Democrats to say "All is well", lift restrictions to get votes, the put all the restrictions back again later. How many times will people fall for it? Remember "If you like you doctor you can keep your doctor"?
Democrats are making a U-turn on mask mandates, just in time for the midterms.
It’s happening among the party’s governors, several of whom are easing up their masking rules as Covid’s Omicron wave fades. And it’s happening on the Hill, where Democrats are suddenly lining up to call for rollbacks of the nation’s most noticeable pandemic-era rule.
Their pandemic pivot comes as they brace for a brutal November election in which the virus — and the culture war that’s accompanied it — is shaping up to be Democrats’ biggest blind spot.
