GOP members revolt against House floor mask rule after new CDC guidance

After new Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance, some GOP members are in rebellion over the House’s lagging rule change on masks.

The CDC issued new guidance last week saying that masks are not necessary for fully vaccinated people in most circumstances. While the White House followed lifted its mask requirement, the House did not.  Just two days before, Pelosi had relaxed mask guidance so that members could take their face covering off when they were recognized to speak on the floor.  Meanwhile, there is no mask rule in the Senate chamber.
