Since this book was written we have learned Joe Biden has prostate cancer. The sad news was greeted with sympathy from all sides of the political divide, including Donald Trump. That would have been the response if, as president, Biden had declared in 2023 that he wasn’t going to run again on the basis of his age; there would have been lots of love, as there was at the start of George Clooney’s celebrated open letter to Biden in The New York Times telling him he loved him, but it was time to go.
But that didn’t happen, did it? We now have confirmation the President was in poor health physically as well as cognitively, but no one said so when it mattered. So, could it happen again?
