Kamala Harris walks back Biden's promise for a federal mandate to wear a mask
"It would be a standard," Harris said in an interview with CNN when asked to clarify. Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, walked back Joe Biden's promise for a federal mandate to wear a mask, saying the Biden administration will instead enforce a nationwide standard of mask-wearing.
Harris, speaking in an interview with CNN that aired Sunday, switched the gears, saying that a national mask mandate will not be federally enforced. She continued: "And so what Joe has been very clear about in his personal behavior, much less in what he is admonishing and respecting of the American people, is that we all make the sacrifice to wear a mask in the interest of love of our neighbor, in the interest of defeating or at least reducing the health risks or the number of deaths in America. So it's about a national standard.
