BOSTON — President Joe Biden’s coming to town to push for his administration’s “moonshot” of halving cancer over the next 25 years.
Biden will deliver an address at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum on the 60th anniversary of President Kennedy’s historic speech at Rice University in Texas in which Kennedy proclaimed, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden “will lay out that vision and provide an update on steps the Biden-Harris administration is taking to achieve this generation’s moonshot — not only to end cancer as we know it, but to change people’s lives, improving their health, and decreasing the burden of the disease.”
