Capitol Hill Tries to End COVID-19 Mask Fight

Katherine Gypson

   U.S. President Donald Trump said this week that he was "all in for
   masks," part of a broader shift for Republicans, some of whom have
   avoided wearing the protection against COVID-19.

   There are still some holdouts among the president's party who are not
   always wearing masks in one of the most difficult social distancing
   environments in the country: Capitol Hill.

   The shift in Republican attitudes toward wearing face coverings to
   protect others and themselves comes as many states around the country
   see a spike in COVID-19 cases after initiating partial reopening phases
   from lockdowns.
