Internet divided as Joe Biden vows to keep fighting to 'end cancer' during his final months in office

WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden stated that he would continue to push for finding a cure for cancer during his remaining time at the White House, on Wednesday, July 24.

The vow was a part of his first address to the nation from the Oval Office since he announced his exit from the 2024 presidential race on Sunday. In the same speech, the incumbent explained why he decided to step down and delivered a reflective and hopeful message about the need for the nation to begin a fresh chapter.

Joe Biden vows to keep fighting for White House's Cancer Moonshot initiative 

While Republicans have called on Joe Biden to resign from the top office since he suspended his reelection campaign, the POTUS has assured that he plans to continue his term. During Wednesday's address, he highlighted the issues he would like to focus on in his final six months in office. 

Biden talked about lowering costs and growing the economy, defending personal freedoms and civil rights, calling out hate and extremism, preventing gun violence, solving the climate crisis, reforming the Supreme Court, and dealing with global issues.

"And I will keep fighting for my Cancer Moonshot, so we can end cancer as we know it because we can do it," added the president amid his speech. 

According to the White House, the Cancer Moonshot is an "initiative to bring renewed leadership to the fight against cancer, facilitate new collaborations, and drive progress across the cancer journey utilizing all facets of the oncology community – federal agencies and departments, private companies, healthcare providers, patient groups, philanthropies, and all Americans."
