Biden Urges Balanced Powers in Government as Political Climate Darkens
Former President Joe Biden, after a successful round of radiation therapy for an aggressive form of prostate cancer, delivered a speech in Boston. He emphasized the importance of balanced powers in government, praised those standing against current threats, and reflected on the 'dark days' of the current political climate.
Biden, who completed his cancer treatment, stressed the need for a presidency with limited power, a functioning Congress, and an autonomous judiciary. He praised individuals and groups, including federal employees, universities, and comedians, for standing against threats from the current administration.
Biden's speech comes amidst the federal government's second-longest shutdown on record, with President Trump exercising new command over the government. Biden, who dropped his bid for reelection following a disastrous debate against Trump and concerns about his age, health, and mental fitness, urged Americans to stay optimistic despite the challenging political climate.
Biden's speech served as a reminder of the importance of checks and balances in government. Despite the current political climate and his decision not to run for reelection, Biden remains a prominent voice, encouraging Americans to stand against threats and maintain optimism.
