Former US President Joe Biden, appearing with a bandage on his head, addressed Nebraska Democrats on Friday, November 8, stating that his late son, Beau, should have been elected commander-in-chief in 2020.
The remarks were made during a speech at the Nebraska Democratic Party’s Ben Nelson Gala, where the former President delivered sharp criticisms against President Trump.
Biden connected the death of his eldest son, Beau Biden, from brain cancer in 2015, to an attack on US President Trump, accusing the current administration of “cutting government funding for cancer research.”
“Folks, I know what cancer research means,” Biden told the crowd. “Cancer hits every family. It’s hit my family hard.”
The former US President quietly referenced his son’s service in Iraq: “When the love of my life, my oldest son, the attorney general of the state of Delaware – who should’ve been the president, not me – volunteered to go to Iraq for a year, didn’t have to, he came back with stage four glioblastoma because he lived in a burn pit just like those guys did on 9/11, and he died.”
Biden, who revealed a diagnosis of stage four prostate cancer earlier this year, then referenced his own health battle. He praised medical breakthroughs, saying, “Well, thank God for the doctors and nurses and incredible breakthroughs we’re making in cancer research.”
He then pivoted to his main charge: “Now, Trump and his Republican friends are cutting government funding for health care, making it more expensive.”
The 46th President, who will turn 83 on November 20th, appeared at the event with a seemingly fresh bandage on the top-left portion of his head.
The reason for the new bandage remains unclear. In August, Biden had undergone Mohs surgery for skin cancer, appearing publicly with a bandage on a different part of his head following that procedure.
