This news makes Trump supporters look very bad.
They look like hypocrites for criticizing Joe Biden for advocating a mask mandate.
They will now probably argue that state mandates are fine, but national mandates are not.
But there are two problems with this alternative excuse:
1) the White House admits that masks will make things better in tennessee. Therefore it would be beneficial for states to implement a mask mandate before the s*** hits the fan, so that Coronavirus doesn't spin out of control.
2) Zero conservatives have ever used the argument that state mandates are okay but national mandates are not. Their position has always been that no mandate whatsoever is good, no matter how local it is.

White House: Tennessee mask mandate 'must be implemented'
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The White House quietly told Tennessee early this week that “a statewide mask mandate must be implemented" to curb its growing spread of COVID-19, strong instructions that the White House and governor did not discuss publicly before the report emerged in a records request.
