For the first time since winning the White House in 2020, the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden will be visiting the City Beautiful on Monday.
The announcement comes after the President nonchalantly said in a climate speech at a Massachusetts’s power plant that he has “Cancer”.
“That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer and why for the longest time Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation,” Biden said.
While the President chose to use the present verb tense to describe his experience with cancer, The White House walked back Biden’s comments saying that it was in reference to his past experience having “non-melanoma skin cancers” removed prior to his time in office.
White House Spokesperson Andrew Bates referred to the tweet below by Washington Post columnist Glenn Kessler for the President’s past experience.
President Biden will give an address at the annual conference for the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort.
The President will also attend a Democratic National Committee Event in Tampa immediately following his address in Orlando during his tour to the Sunshine State.
President Biden’s visit to Florida comes a week after VP Kamala Harris attended an Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority conference and discussing the nation’s polarizing topic of reproductive rights with state Democrats at a roundtable conference.
This will be the first visit for the President since he met with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in Miami to discuss the ramifications need to be taken in the aftermath of the Surfside Condominium collapse last June that resulted in 98 deaths and over $1 billion dollars in property damage.
