is on a book tour — well, sort of. He admitted Sunday in a statement posted to X that he’s not up to the demands of a full book tour, which these days consists mainly of doing a couple of interviews a day; when you’re a former president, the interviewers will come to you. “Some days are better than others,” Biden says of his cancer. “It hasn’t stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.”

We’re supposed to believe that this man was up to another four-year term in the most demanding job in existence? Jim Geraghty notes that, if Biden is telling the truth about not having been tested for as it spread into his bones, “it’s entirely reasonable to ask why Biden’s doctors — supposedly among the best doctors in the country — chose to not run that test.”
