Senator of Florida, Marco Rubio, was also critical of any prospective restrictions on the state.
Rubio sent an open letter to the administration in Washington expressing his disapproval, stating:
“I write with regard to recent reporting that your administration is considering implementing travel restrictions to my home State of Florida. {…} Instituting a travel ban, or any restriction of movement between the states, would be an outrageous, authoritarian move that has no basis in law or science. Instead, it would only serve to inflict severe and devastating economic pain on an already damaged economy.”
Perhaps conceding to the expanse of condemnation in further restrictions, Reuters has recently reported that White House officials have told the agency that “It does not appear the administration will move forward with requiring domestic testing at this point, but stressed officials could revisit the idea if conditions changed.”

This is just another way to keep us locked down, and make money on testing.

“Surging cases”
“While overall cases for the virus have been decreasing in Florida”
Fascinating.

Nothing to do with safety, everything to do with punishing red states. Florida was one of the first states to stop the useless mask mandate too (and everyone didn't die) and the left can't stand it.
