Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appeared to walk back his pledge to institute a nationwide mask mandate to fight the coronavirus on Sunday, noting that such federal action goes against the U.S. Constitution.
"Well, I hope you could trust the governors," Biden said when asked about the issue Sunday on AZFamily’s "Politics Unplugged."
But, he added, "There's a constitutional issue whether federal government could issue such a mandate. I don’t think constitutionally they could, so I wouldn’t issue a mandate."

"I'd set an example," he said.
