Biden administration explores sending face masks to all Americans Joey Garrison, USA TODAY Replay Video UP NEXT WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden’s administration is exploring sending protective face masks directly to all Americans to help fight the spread of COVID-19 after former President Donald Trump scrapped the same initiative last year. “We want to get this back on track,” White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said Thursday in an interview on NBC. “We’re looking at what can be done to quickly do this with the mask supplies that we have. I hope in the next few days or next week, we can perhaps announce some progress on this.”
