I think the political argument holds true to some degree, but look at the news lately.....The Dems need something to claim as a win, they can't pass (thankfully) election changes, the fillibuster stays, the BBB bill is toast, it took them forever to get through infrastructure, which was even voted against by the far left...It's midterm season and even CNN is saying how Biden et al are screwed. While masking may not "end" in March, as Omicron proves its way less deadly, and we will have to live with this like the flu (words out of Fauci's mouth this week)....They need to end this ASAP, and it's also going to be their ONLY talking point of "proving" to the center and right of "See! we told you this wasn't about control, it was about science, we are safe again!!!".

PS - In NO way am I hoping they survive the midterms, they deserve every losing seat they can get for how they've handled this year and last year...
