The Democrat-controlled states of California, Oregon and Washington are moving to drop mask mandates in schools and other indoor venues, just a day before Joe Biden's State of the Union address.

What impeccable timing.

California Governor Gavin Newsom's (D) office released a statement Monday announcing all three states will drop their indoor mask mandates on March 12 and will instead simply encourage mask-wearing.

"California continues to adjust our policies based on the latest data and science, applying what we've learned over the past two years to guide our response to the pandemic," Newsom stated.
