Biden Calls on Democrats to Turn Out Amid 'Dark Days'
Biden used a Planned Parenthood award speech to urge Democratic turnout and criticized the Supreme Court’s 2022 abortion ruling.
Former President Joe Biden appeared with Jill Biden at a Planned Parenthood event on Thursday to receive a service award, urging Democrats to vote and restore dignity to elected office.
Biden remarked that the country endures "dark days," yet emphasized the United States remains resilient, stating, "There's nothing, nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together."
During the event, Biden lamented the 2022 Supreme Court decision in The Dobbs v. Jackson case, which overturned national abortion rights and allowed states to implement restrictions.
The Dobbs v. Jackson decision likely prevented Democrats from losing additional seats during the 2022 election, though the abortion issue has since faded in prominence by 2024.
Joe Biden previously stated that radiation treatment for his prostate cancer "worked as intended," while reports surfaced regarding health struggles affecting both him and Hunter Biden.
