Biden floats fining people for not wearing a mask on federal property

preview

2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden offered little clarity on whether he could and would introduce a national mask mandate should he win the White House on Nov. 3.“I cannot mandate people wearing masks," Biden told CNN Thursday during his first televised town hall as his party's standard-bearer.Instead, the two-term vice president and 36-year Delaware senator said he would encourage every mayor and governor in the country to roll out a blanket face-covering order in their respective city or state. But he also proposed a rule governing those on federal property."On federal land, I have the authority," he said.

In August, he pushed for a three-month national mask mandate, . But earlier this month, ."I'm a constitutionalist. You know, you can't do things the Constitution doesn't allow you the power to do," he said.
