Trump mocks himself for not attending his inauguration
First public schedule after withdrawing presidential candidacy
“204 billion won in cancer research funds to be provided to universities”
“I have good manners. I’m different from anyone else (Trump).”
During a conversation with reporters on the 13th, US President Joe Biden said that he would attend the inauguration ceremony in January next year even if Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump wins the November election. Trump did not attend President Biden’s inauguration in January 2021. This is interpreted as a sarcastic remark toward Trump, who broke the tradition of an outgoing president attending and congratulating the incoming president’s inauguration ceremony regardless of party affiliation.
According to CNN and other broadcasts, President Biden, who withdrew from the Democratic presidential nomination on the 21st of last month, made his first official schedule on this day. He visited New Orleans, Louisiana with his wife Jill and announced, “I will provide $150 million (about 204 billion won) in cancer research funds to eight American universities.”
In February 2022, the Biden administration launched a cancer conquest program called the “cancer moonshot,” saying, “We will reduce the cancer mortality rate in the United States by half by 2047.” It was named this because it was announced exactly 60 years ago in the year that former President John F. Kennedy announced that he would “send a man to the moon.” The total project size, including various cancer research as well as living support for cancer patients, amounts to 4 billion dollars (about 5.442 trillion won). The announcement today is also part of this project.
Some say that President Biden’s actions suggest that he will focus on policies that are personally meaningful to him, rather than re-establishing the government or strengthening the Democratic Party’s power in Congress during his remaining five months in office. President Biden, who entered Washington politics as a senator in 1973, will end his political career of 36 years as a senator, eight years as vice president, and four years as president in January next year. Having lost his eldest son Beau, who was also considered his political successor, to a brain tumor in 2015, he is bound to be more interested than anyone else in ‘defeating cancer.’
CNN predicted that President Biden will focus on maximizing the implementation of subsidies from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), an electric vehicle promotion policy, during the remaining term and leading ceasefire negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian armed group Hamas.
