On Tuesday, July 25, Joe made the claim in a speech from the White House. His speech discussed new initiatives to persuade insurance providers to increase coverage for mental health services.
Beginning with how the epidemic "demonstrated... the need for a lot more help," Joe emphasized the significance of expanding access to mental health treatment in his remarks. According to the speech's official transcript, Joe added, "One of the things I'm always asked is: You know, why—why Americans have sort of lost faith for awhile on being—being able to do big things."
Did Joe Biden say he ended cancer?
What would you do, Joe, if you could do anything at all? I vowed to eradicate cancer. Joe carried on. "And they questioned me, 'Why cancer?'" since no one believes we can. That is the reason. We can, too. Cancer as we know it can be cured.
On social media, many conservatives, like Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert, uploaded a video of the speech. People who shared the video took Joe at his word when he declared he had "ended cancer as we know it." But after paying close attention, it becomes clear that the president appeared to muddle the words "can" and "end" throughout his speech, making it sound like "ended."

Joe Biden’s dog involved in biting incidents
Meanwhile, according to recent sources, Joe's dog Commander has been charged with being responsible for many biting incidents in Delaware and at the White House. The First Family is looking into ways to make this situation better for everyone, the first lady's communications director Elizabeth Alexander said in a statement to the news outlet PEOPLE after the incidents.
"The White House complex is a unique and frequently stressful environment for family pets," Alexander said. They have been working along with the Secret Service and the Executive Residence personnel to construct specific spaces for Commander to run and exercise as well as to develop additional leashing protocols and training.
