He will be released after the treatment is completed with no disclosure as to what his treatment was for, and then at the end of the summer he will announce officially his candidacy for Governor. But, despite the best efforts of the Biden camp and those who think his medical condition is none of our business, the News Journal has a poll up this morning, and the votes so far reveal that this is a matter of some debate. The question is framed in such a way that it assumes that if Beau Biden were currently in office as a public official, the public would undoubtedly have a right to know all about his medical condition.
Should Beau Biden’s health be a public issue?
Yes, he has said he is a likely candidate for governor.(Your vote)
43%
No, not until he official announces his candidacy.
41%
Only if he were in office
14%

I am very chagrined that we are forced to have this debate. If only the Biden office and the Vice President’s office were more forthcoming, all we would be doing right now is focusing on Beau’s getting better with whatever it was that he was going through.
