Joe Biden has said that if he's elected president in November, he will use federal power to require all Americans to wear masks in public places to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Americans to wear masks. The Republican governors in Florida, Texas and Arizona have recently retreated to measures they once opposed, with many hospitals in those states operating at close to capacity. Last Wednesday, Sen. Marco Rubio put it plainly:"Everyone should just wear a damn mask." However, despite the recent shift in tone from many fellow Republicans, the president has not yet signaled a willingness to withdraw from his initial stance.
Jay Inslee on Sunday."100% masking, means 100% opening up. And all of us should be on that bandwagon right now."" in response to Gov. Jay Inslee's order that residents must wear face coverings in public, while a sheriff in the southern part of the state called Inslee an"idiot" who was"violating people's constitutional rights." Last Wednesday, more than 150 protesters gathered outside City Hall in Scottsdale, Arizona, to protest recent mask mandates.
