J.D. Vance Introduces Bill to\u200d Ban Federal Mask \u200cMandates<\/h2>\n<p>Sen.

The bill aims to prevent the federal \u200cgovernment from reimposing mask mandates for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vance-to-seek-senate-floor-consideration-of-legislation-banning-federal-mask-mandates\/\" title=\"Vance aims for Senate floor vote on bill against federal mask mandates.\">domestic \u200bair travel<\/a>, public \u200dtransportation, and schools.<\/p>\n<p>Vance is determined to make \u2064a statement and challenge his Democratic colleagues. While it is expected that\u2064 his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mccarthy-to-introduce-bill-replenishing-israels-iron-dome-while-democrats-deal-with-omars-anti-semitic-outburst\/\" title=\"McCarthy To Introduce Bill Replenishing Israel\u2019s Iron Dome While Democrats Deal With Omar\u2019s Anti-Semitic Outburst\">unanimous consent request<\/a> will be met with objection, \u2064Vance\u200c believes \u2062it is crucial to address the issue. &#8220;Multiple entities within \u2064our government, within the\u2062 public health bureaucracy, there are local schools in the D.C. area\u2064 now reimposing\u200b mask mandates, this is \u2062coming back unless we stop it from happening,&#8221; Vance stated.<\/p>\n<p>The bill, known as the &#8220;Freedom to Breathe Act,&#8221; is an opportunity for bipartisan cooperation. Vance invites Democrats to join him in voting against mask mandates if they truly believe they are unnecessary. &#8220;If they say the mask\u200d mandates are not coming back, then come to the Senate floor, vote with us, and say &#8216;no more mask mandates.&#8217; Let&#8217;s make\u2063 it bipartisan,&#8221; he urged.<\/p>\n<p>Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO),\u200d Eric Schmitt (R-MO), and Mike Braun (R-IN) have\u2063 co-sponsored the legislation. However, with a Democratic-led Senate, it is unlikely that the bill will receive floor time.<\/p>\n<p>Vance \u200cis passionate about preventing the return of mask mandates, as he believes they are being used to divide the \u200bcountry. &#8220;They use these mandates to\u200c turn one half [of] the country against the other half. That&#8217;s what all tyrants do,&#8221; he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>The push for this legislation comes in response to a Maryland school district&#8217;s recent attempt to reinstitute mask mandates. Additionally, it coincides with President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to wear a mask indoors after first lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Senator from Ohio, J.D.
