Biden’s alarming comments came during a speech about emissions from oil refineries near his childhood home in Claymont, Del., and which he appeared to blame for his cancer.

Democrats are trying to move beyond Joe Biden, but continued questions about the former president’s cognitive abilities in office are emerging as both a major distraction and a litmus test for their party’s leaders.

Those who have read “Original Sin” say that it does not contain any bombshells. What it offers is a detailed account of the systematic effort by family and advisors to conceal the truth from the American people, and calls out the cowardly Democratic leaders who knew Biden was not up to a second term but were afraid to cross him.

The reckoning of the Biden administration's cover-up of the president's health was needed before he announced he has cancer, but it has now taken on a new urgency.

Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis has sparked a political firestorm, fueling allegations of cover-ups and framing his presidency as a cautionary tale. Explore how his health crisis intersects with revelations from the book 'Original Sin' and impacts the 2024 elections.

Tapper‘s book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” co-authored with Axios reporter Alex Thompson, will be available to purchase on May 20. Just one day ahead of its release, former President Joe Biden’s granddaughter tore into what she called a “silly book.”

Some have dismissed Axios' release of Biden's interview audio as a political "distraction" from controversies surrounding Trump's presidency.

Damning revelations from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s Original Sin put Democrats on the defensive, but a full reckoning may be tabled given the tragic news of the former president’s “aggressive” illness.
