Biden Addresses SVB & UK Junior Doc’s Strike | Afternoon Update | 3.13.23
Why Democratic Governors Are Turning Against Mask Mandates
One by one, blue states across the United States have been rolling back their Covid-19 restrictions, going against C.D.C. guidelines that are still backed by the White House.
Why are governors in states like California, Illinois and New York taking those actions? And what do they say about the shifting politics of the pandemic?
Guest: Lisa Lerer, a national political correspondent for The New York Times.

In recent years, governors have sat on the sidelines as the federal government has commanded most of the attention and airtime.

Guest: Alexander Burns, who covers national politics for The New York Times. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.
Background reading:
