Joe Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis. And, Kentucky residents react to deadly storm
Briefly

Former President Joe Biden, aged 82, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, following tests after discovering a nodule. This diagnosis coincides with discussions surrounding his physical and cognitive health, as highlighted in Jake Tapper's upcoming book, which claims there was a cover-up of his decline. While Democrats focus on upcoming elections and the economy, the implications of Biden's health could impact their strategies. Concurrently, deadly storms across parts of the U.S. have resulted in significant casualties, raising concerns about response measures and state preparedness.
Biden, who is 82 years old, underwent additional tests last week after a prostate nodule was discovered. The cancer has a Gleason score of 9, indicating a more aggressive form of the disease.
The diagnosis comes as Original Sin, an upcoming book by CNN's Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson from Axios, alleges Biden experienced a physical and cognitive decline while in office.
With the midterms over 18 months away, Democrats are going to be focused on the economy and President Trump's leadership rather than Biden, who is already in the rearview mirror.
More than two dozen people are dead after powerful storms and tornadoes ripped through Kentucky, Missouri and Virginia over the weekend. Communities work to pick up the pieces.
