The statement also said, 'While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,' and that the former president and his family 'are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.'
On July 21, amid growing public concerns about his age, health and mental fitness, Biden made it clear that he had pulled out of the 2024 presidential election and would not seek reelection that November. He then endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. The announcement came several weeks after his disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump, who would go on to win the election and become the 47th president of the United States. Biden's poor performance during the televised debate led to widespread calls for him to withdraw.
'Nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy, and that includes personal ambition,' he said in an Oval Office address to the nation after withdrawing from the race. 'The defense of democracy is more important than any title.'

Democratic Texas congressional candidate dragged out, arrested after rant at redistricting hearing, wild video shows
A Democratic congressional candidate was forcibly removed from the Texas State Capitol Thursday and arrested after he filibustered a hearing on redistricting in the Lone Star State. 'It is a shame. It is horrific. For what you have … ' Isaiah Martin shouted as he was dragged out of the House Redistricting Committee meeting in Austin, just before a capitol security official fell on top of the 27-year-old House hopeful. 3 Isaiah Martin is running to represent Texas' 18th Congressional District in the House of Representatives. CBS Austin Advertisement Martin is seeking to replace the late Rep. Sylvester Turner (D-Texas), who died on March 5, as the Texas' 18th Congressional District representative. The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed Martin was arrested and booked into Travis County Jail on charges of criminal trespass, disrupting a meeting or procession and resisting arrest, according to local outlet KVUE. All charges against Martin were dropped Friday, and he was expected to be released from jail, his brother said in a social media post, arguing that the state was trying to make 'an example' out of Isaiah. Advertisement Republican state Rep. Cody Vasut ordered the sergeant-at-arms to remove Martin from the hearing after he went over his allotted two minutes to speak and refused to stop talking — even after his microphone was shut off. It took three men to wrestle Martin out of the room. 'Jesus! Get off of him!' a woman in the crowd demanded after the candidate fell to the ground with the sergeant-at-arms on top of him. 'He tripped,' one of the security members assured the woman. Advertisement 'America will rise up against you!' Martin screamed as he was finally pulled into the hallway, where it appeared he fell, or was taken down, once more. 3 Martin was forcibly removed after he refused to stop speaking at the hearing. Fox News West Texas 3 As he was being dragged out, Martin appeared to trip and fell to the ground. CBS Austin Martin's brother contends that Isaiah was simply using his First Amendment rights and 'willingly walked with the officers out of the building' after his arrest. Advertisement 'He shouldn't have been arrested in the first place,' Martin's brother said. Martin, who previously worked as a staffer for late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), is one of eight Democrats currently running in a special election race for the Houston-area congressional district. He is opposed to Republican-led efforts in Texas to tweak the state's congressional maps further in the GOP's favor. The redistricting proposal may create five new winnable seats for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

ICE Agents Need Protection
Terry Takash writes about a march that happened 62 years ago and how protesters weren't ashamed to wear masks ('What Do You Have to Hide Under That Mask?' Letters, July 21). But when it comes to ICE agents today, every phone can take a picture of a face, put it online and find out who the agent is. We need to protect the safety of these officers. If they chose to wear a mask while putting their lives on the line, that's their choice. The only shame here is the failure of Joe Biden during his presidency to protect Americans by having an open border. Kevin F. Swan
