Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) is introducing legislation in the Senate—the Freedom to Breathe Act—that would prohibit all federal officials, including President Joe Biden, from issuing new mask mandates covering domestic air travel, public transit systems, or primary, secondary, and post-secondary schools.

The Vance proposal would also ban air carriers, transit authorities, and education officials from refusing to serve individuals who choose to not wear a mask.
