Biden offers details of ‘national mask mandate’

US Democratic presidential minee Joe Biden is detailing his approach on what he's called a "national mask mandate" as he campaigns against President Donald Trump.

Biden told NBC News during a town hall Monday night that he doesn't believe a president can impose a national mandate nationwide. But Biden says as president he'd require masks on federal property, an executive action with wide reach across country.

Biden said he'd use bully pulpit of presidency to urge all goverrs, mayors and county executives to use ir authority to require masks in ir jurisdictions. Biden said he'd call goverrs to White House to talk about COVID-19, though he added that he kws t all of m would come.

Biden often mentions need for nationwide mask mandates but he has sometimes been unclear about how he views presidential authority on matter.
