Biden says he would make wearing face masks mandatory for Americans amid coronavirus pandemic | CNN - Veronica Stracqualursi & Sarah Mucha:
June 26, 2020 - "Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden said if elected president, he would make wearing a face covering in public compulsory.... 'The one thing we do know is these masks make a gigantic difference. I would insist that everybody out in public be wearing that mask. Anyone to reopen would have to make sure that they walked into a business that had masks,' Biden told CNN's affiliate in Pittsburgh, KDKA, while wearing a black mask.
"Pressed if he'd use federal power to mandate wearing a mask in public, Biden responded, 'Yes, I would. From an executive standpoint, yes I would.' Asked again if that meant he would 'in effect' mandate mask wearing, Biden said, 'I would do everything possible to make it required that people had to wear masks in public'....
"At least 16 states and the District of Columbia have mandates on wearing cloth face masks in public, but masks have become a political flash point as some argue the requirement infringes upon their civil liberties."

"Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the House GOP Conference chair, who rarely agrees with Pelosi, tweeted a picture of her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, on Friday with the message: 'Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK.'"
