If President Joe Biden’s actions have told Americans anything in recent weeks, it’s that he would rather fight Republicans than deal with outside enemies.
The White House has long been locked in a battle with Republican governors — like Florida’s Ron DeSantis — over mask mandates, particularly for children returning to classrooms.
DeSantis has argued that parents should be allowed to make decisions for their children rather than relying on the school district or the state to make a blanket policy that may not be practical for everyone.
Biden has responded on several occasions by accusing him of “standing in the way” of recovery and has threatened to retaliate in several ways — including funding schools that defy DeSantis’ ban on mask mandates and using the Education Department’s Civil Rights arm to attack states that ban mask mandates.
