Joe Biden suggested Wednesday that his national mandate on masks would be pressure-based rather than legally enforceable. “There's a question whether or not a president, under the Constitution, could mandate everyone wear a mask," Biden said during a press conference Wednesday. He added that he would put pressure on local officials to ensure mask wearing during the coronavirus pandemic. "Let’s institute a mask mandate nationwide starting immediately and we will save lives. When asked about the legality of a national mask mandate, his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris indicated no one would face federal consequences for failing to wear a mask.
