Former Vice President Joe Biden is promising that, if elected, he would urge state and local governments to issue mask mandates nationwide.

The Democrat nominee, who has shifted on his support for a federal mask mandate, told supporters in Delaware on Friday that it was vital for the government to implement a “national strategy to position our country to finally get ahead of this virus.” As part of the strategy, the former vice president promised not only to get a spending bill, that deals with both the economic and public safety aspects of the novel coronavirus, through Congress by January, but also to push for comprehensive mask mandates.

“I’ll go to every governor and urge them to mandate mask-wearing in their states,” he said. “If they refuse I’ll go to the mayors and county executives and get local masking requirements in place nationwide.”

Biden added that his administration would “mandate mask-wearing in all federal buildings and all interstate transportation” since “masks” have been proven to “save lives.”

“Wearing a mask is not a political statement. It’s a scientific imperative.

And so to get a jump on my program I called Ron DeSantis yesterday. I told the Governor if you don't institute a mask mandate, you're not getting the billion dollars when I become President. I said Governor you have 6 hours or you're not getting the money. 6 hours goes by and son of a gun! The Governor calls me back. Governor DeSantis says, "We don't want your money or your masks. -Click-" Come on, man!

Apparently, COVID-19 is a big issue for some voters, particularly the older crowd, which votes at a high percentage, and women. It’s all we’re going to hear from the left, short of additional October surprises, until Election Day.

Does it matter at all that marks are ineffective in preventing virus infection? Probably not.

[Socon-Econ]

Masks hinder breathing and are an unworkable attempt to prevent a disease that is no more dangerous than the flu.

[chiller]

He clearly does want to lose, doesn’t he ?

Yep, they're big plan...This is what we get with the democrats, forcing people to wear masks...or else face retribution, threats, fines, penalties etc.

Democrats are such control freaks. It's just amazing.

Shut up and don’t ask questions.

Weep for the future, and your children.

The spending bill will bail out California, New York, and Illinois who helped him get elected by destroying the economy.

[dragnet2]

Their big plan too...☺

[IgnorerOfLiberals]

Just what everyone wants to hear.

‘Apparently, COVID-19 is a big issue for some voters, particularly the older crowd, which votes at a high percentage, and women.’

this ridiculous virus response is the kind of stuff we have to look forward to with the current strong focus on female influence...
