After withdrawing from the current election campaign, US President Joe Biden wants to devote himself fully to his office in the White House. He still has much to do, as he announced in his address to the nation on Wednesday. Among other things, he wants to “cure cancer” and end the war in the Gaza Strip.
As reported, the 81-year-old US president has decided not to run against former President Donald Trump again in the November elections, after a failed TV debate against Trump and endless discussions about his physical and mental fitness for a second term that Trump can fulfill. Biden then declared that he would support Harris’ candidacy. But in addition to supporting the new Democratic candidate – although everything currently points to the nomination of Kamala Harris – the incumbent president would like to use his last months as head of state to fulfill some of his campaign promises.
NATO also wants to stay together
“For the next six months, I will focus on doing my job as president,” Biden said. He called for Supreme Court reform without providing details. On foreign policy, he reiterated his continued support for Ukraine and his commitment to ending the war in Gaza. He will continue to fight the climate crisis and keep NATO together.
He also wants to continue working on lowering prices for consumers, stimulating the economy and defending personal freedoms and civil rights. He also recalled his project “Cancer Moonshot”. The term “moonshot” is especially widespread in the startup scene and describes extraordinary projects or unusually ambitious ideas that seem almost unachievable.
In fact, the goals Biden and his team have set themselves in the fight against cancer are very ambitious. The project’s website states that the US government wants to “end cancer as we know it.” By this, the White House means, among other things, developing therapies and diagnostic options that will ensure that the disease is no longer as deadly as it is today. Among other things, the death rate from various types of cancer must be halved by 2045.
Biden’s son died of brain cancer
Biden established a “cancer cabinet” and a new scientific institution to promote research in this area and ensure that cancer is diagnosed earlier. The fight against cancer is also a personal concern for the president; his son Beau died in 2015 at the age of 46 from a malignant brain tumor, a so-called glioblastoma.
