House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urges for federal mandate on wearing masks as covid-19 cases spike across the US.In an ABC interview, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged President Trump to wear a mask and set an example for the rest of the country amidst the coronavirus pandemic. She also urged for a federal mandate in light of the state governors' call for a consistent national message on the issue amid a surge in coronavirus cases across the nation. Pelosi said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the use of masks to reduce the spread of the virus but never mandated it to 'not offend' President Donald Trump. Vice President Mike Pence deflected a question about a federal mandate requiring Americans to wear masks and said people should listen to what state and local officials are saying about wearing masks in public.
