Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio) led a group of 34 Republican lawmakers in urging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to end pandemic-related restrictions on the House floor, including staggered voting and mask-wearing.

In a letter (pdf) on May 14, Gibbs and his GOP colleagues called on Pelosi to end COVID-19-related restrictions on House operations, referencing a May 13 announcement by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) saying that vaccinated individuals generally no longer need to wear masks in any settings, indoor or outdoor.
