Joe Biden Has Cancer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Former President Joe Biden announces he has advanced and aggressive prostate cancer. It's a devastating diagnosis, though one doctors say is treatable, despite his age.
The diagnosis is raising new questions about Biden's health during the end of his presidency and during his abandoned presidential campaign, especially as the Democratic party is in the middle of a brewing civil war over where the party needs to head next.
The former president's health announcement has also become a convenient cover for Republicans as they work to gut Medicaid and Medicare while giving tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.
Grant talks about all the reasons the Biden story is news but why it's not the most important health story out there right now.
