Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said governors need to implement mask mandates for the next three months, claiming it would save the lives of 40,000 Americans.

“Every single American should be wearing a mask when they’re outside for the next three months as a minimum,” the former vice president told reporters at a press conference. He said the mandate would “get our kids back to school sooner than later” and would “get our businesses back long-term.”
