Rand Paul to force vote on ending Biden TSA mask mandate.

Senate vote next week.

The Transportation Security Administration is extending the current Mask Mandate for public transportation through April 18. The mandate had been set to expire on March 18.

The extension is based on a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In a statement Thursday, TSA said the CDC will work on a “revised policy framework for when, and under what circumstances, masks should be required in the public transportation corridor.”
