Democrats wince as Trump leans into Biden argument

When news broke about former President Biden’s cancer diagnosis and most Democrats were extending well wishes to the former president, one source wrote to say something different: “This news would validate everything Trump talked about during the campaign.” 

“How long until he blasts Biden for lying to the American people?” the source added. 

For President Trump, it took longer than some anticipated. 

He greeted Biden’s tragic news with sympathy: “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.” 

That goodwill lasted less than a day.
