Biden was speaking in Somerset, Massachusetts, where he announced new climate change initiatives in front of the site of a shuttered power plant. The location will now be used to harness offshore wind power.

But during his speech, Biden appeared to either misspeak or casually announce he has cancer:

I lived just up the road in an apartment complex when we moved to Delaware, and just up the road a little school I went to, Holy Rosary Grade School. And because it was a four-lane highway that was accessible, my mother drove us, and rather than us be able to walk.

And guess what? The first frost, you know what was happening? You had to put on your windshield wipers to get, literally the oil slick off the window. That’s why I and so many damn other people I grew up [with] have cancer, and why for the longest time Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.

Biden’s comments prompted the White House to clarify Biden’s comments, which suggested he currently has cancer. The White House pointed to a tweet from Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler on the matter.

1. Delaware is definitely a cancer state. I got my diagnosis almost 3 years ago now

Fortunately it was treatable breast cancer and I think I’m free of it. But I expect to get it again or something different but cancer. Here it’s like the sword of Damocles. My mom died of it she was a little bit younger than I am now. I found out though we are the only state with a special cancer treatment program through Medicaid paid for my chemo.

2. 'the White House previously said he had non-melanoma skin cancers removed.'

3. If Delaware had a middle name, it would be DuPont

as in DuPont Chemical

4. Gawd the press can't wait for another Trump Presidency.

This THIS the quote they are flipping over?

6. If they're going to go bonkers over that, then where were they

during the hundreds and hundreds of Trump misquotes, gaffes, outrageous lies, and his total inability to express himself in more than a dozen vocabulary words?

5. I understand

what he means. He grew up in the area with so many folks around him having developed cancer.
