Joe Biden on Tuesday traveled to New Orleans to deliver remarks at a Cancer Moonshot event.
Biden announced $150 million in research grants at Tulane University in Louisiana on Tuesday.
“We’re moving quickly because we know that all families touched by cancer are in a race against time,” Biden said. “I’m a congenital optimist about what Americans can do. There’s so much that we’re doing. It matters”
“We’re mobilizing the whole country effort to cut American cancer deaths in half by 2020,” Biden said.
