Many Republican governors who strongly support Trump in most areas are beseeching their fellow citizens to wear masks as they try to balance reopening with a desire to avoid a spike in Covid-19 cases. Greg Abbott, another strong Trump supporter, has advised people in his state to wear masks, though he does not do so himself at news conferences. In a Quinnipiac University poll last week, 64% of Americans said everyone should be required to wear masks in public. It is a bit peculiar though that, in his basement, right next to his wife, he's not wearing a mask, but he's wearing one outdoors when he's socially distanced," she said. It has not recommended Americans wear masks in their homes.
