More Mask Mandates Are Not What Democrats Need

Ed Luce: “A collective groan could be heard on Monday when Philadelphia said it was reinstating the city’s mask mandate. It was a bad omen for Democrats. Leave aside whether it is necessary — most experts, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, think it is not — liberals will pay a price for any restrictions, even essential ones.”

“Voters were already furious about the school closures in the first year or more of the pandemic that in hindsight look like overkill. A return to enforced masking is just the kind of move that will boomerang.”
