Senate Republicans called on President Biden to get rid of the federal mask mandate on public transportation.
But President Biden last week nevertheless extended the federal transportation mask mandate. This affected Americans riding in airplanes, commuter trains, and in buildings connected to such forms of transportation as train stations and airports.

James Lankford, R-Okla., said."And then the administration announces, 'No just kidding. We're going to move that to now the 18th of April and then we'll reevaluate it again.'"
