What happened
- Former President Joe Biden
Joe Biden46th President of the United States (2021–2025) said Sunday he will limit promotion of his upcoming memoir because prostate cancer sometimes slows him down. - Biden, 83, was diagnosed in May 2025 with aggressive prostate cancer that had spread to his bones, but said his doctors remain encouraged by his response to treatment.
- In his forthcoming memoir, Biden said President Donald Trump’s actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack “should follow him to his grave.”
- Biden accused Trump of leading an insurrection to stay in power after losing the 2020 election and condemned his pardons for people who attacked police.
- The memoir, “Promise Me, America,” is due Nov. 17, and Biden said he hopes “the words on the page speak for themselves” as he reduces public appearances.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets emphasized Biden’s health limits alongside his memoir’s condemnation of Trump. The New York Times highlighted cancer that “slows me down,” while the Los Angeles Times and PBS NewsHour led with Biden’s statement that Trump should carry the weight of Jan. 6 “to his grave.”
How the right told it
Right-leaning outlets mostly framed the story as a health update forcing Biden to reduce book promotion. Daily Mail, Breitbart and Newsmax highlighted Joe Biden’s statement that cancer “slows me down.” The Washington Times also covered his Jan. 6 criticism, while Western Journal cast the announcement as another effort at “making money.”
