Joe Biden says he would use federal power to force all Americans to wear a mask in public

In an interview Thursday with CBS Pittsburgh affiliate KDKA, the former vice president said that he would “insist” on widespread mask-wearing and that he would use whatever Executive Branch authorities he could find to require it.

“The one thing we do know is these masks make a gigantic difference,” he said, as quoted by The Daily Beast. “I would insist that everybody out in public be wearing that mask. Anyone to reopen would have to make sure that they walked into a business that had masks.”

Biden then claimed that, as president, he would have the authority to mandate the public wearing of masks.
