President Biden<\/u> is at odds with governors from both parties over school mask mandates.<\/p>\n
Biden has been going after several states for not imposing mask mandates in schools, attacking governors like Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida for banning mandates.<\/p>\n
However, more governors from blue states are joining their red gubernatorial colleagues in phasing out the mask mandates in schools.<\/p>\n

New Jersey will become one of the latest states to drop the mandates, with Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, announcing on Monday the Garden State\u2019s plan to unmask.<\/p>\n
Murphy is slated to make the announcement on Monday during a pandemic briefing in Trenton. The mandate will officially be lifted on March 7, an official with the governor\u2019s office confirmed to Fox News Digital on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

The New Jersey Democrat renewed the school mask mandate just last month by declaring a public health emergency.<\/p>\n
Even Biden\u2019s home state of Delaware, for which he served as a senator for nearly four decades, is ditching mask mandates.<\/p>\n
