Donald Trump Jr. slammed President Joe Biden on Saturday for failing to meet his campaign promise of eradicating cancer in his first 10 months in office.
In an interview with FOX News' Don Bongino, Trump said of the president: 'He was also going to cure cancer, if I remember correctly.
'Everyone said, "'Oh that's great, we should definitely elect him," Trump recounted of Biden's 2019 campaign pledge. 'I haven't seen much movement on that.'
Biden had promised on the campaign trail in 2019 he would eradicate cancer if he were elected president.
'A lot of you understand what loss is, and when loss occurs, you know that people come up to you and tell you "I understand," if you lose a husband,, a wife, a son, a daughter, a family member,' he said at a campaign stop in Iowa.
'That’s why I’ve worked so hard in my career to make sure that — I promise you if I’m elected president, you’re going to see the single most important thing that changes America: We’re going to cure cancer.'

Biden had been fighting for increased research into cancer treatment since his son, Beau, was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2013.
He was tasked with overseeing the government's Cancer Moonshot task force when he was vice president, and after he left office, the former vice president launched the Biden Cancer Initiative to build upon the government's efforts.
More recently, he asked Congress for $6.5 billion to fund a new agency called Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, to propel breakthrough treatments for diseases like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's.
And in September, Biden announced the appointment of seven clinicians and researchers to the National Cancer Advisory Board.
Donald Trump Jr. also lamented to Bongino that there have not been widespread riots against COVID vaccine mandates
