Lawmakers in both parties voice frustration that the U.S. Capitol has remained shuttered to the public for nearly 2 years due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Asked if it's time for public tours in the Capitol to resume, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said: “Pretty soon, I hope.”
“People all over the country are getting rid of the mask mandates, they’re opening stuff up, but it’s a political issue here,” Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, who served as White House physician to both Trump and former President Barack Obama, said as he removed his mask after leaving the floor. But the decision to restart public tours — and allow people to observe House and Senate votes from the visitors galleries above — doesn’t lie with Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Instead, it lies with the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms, who say they take their guidance from the Capitol’s attending physician, Navy Rear Adm. Brian Monahan.
