“I don’t know yet, I’ll have to talk to my CDC,” Biden said in Portsmouth, where he joined state and local leaders for a victory tour and celebration of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which he signed into law in November.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — President Biden hit the Granite State to pump his $1.2 trillion investment in infrastructure, but lifting the mask mandate and re-election maneuvering were also on the agenda. “I don’t know yet, I’ll have to talk to my CDC,” Biden said Tuesday when asked by the Herald if he will appeal a judge’s ruling dropping the mandate. He joined state and local leaders in Portsmouth Tuesday for a victory tour and celebration of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which he signed in November. White House spokesperson Jen Psaki has already said lifting the mask mandate was “disappointing” and that the Biden administration will need to review its legal options before responding. That was Monday. While that review is in process — and pending a decision by Biden — the mask mandate has been lifted for airlines and other modes of public transportation. The MBTA announced Tuesday it would lift its mask mandate for trains and buses in concert with the federal government.
