President Biden accidentally shares detail about Jimmy Carter's health at private Democratic fundraiser

President Biden accidentally revealed a previously unknown detail about former President Carter’s health toward the end of a speech Monday evening, before admitting he "should not have said that." 

Carter, whose health is waning and has been placed on hospice care at his home, instructed Biden to deliver his eulogy, the president revealed during a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Rancho Santa Fe, California. 

"He asked me to do his eulogy – excuse me I shouldn’t say that," Biden remarked. "I spent time with Jimmy Carter and it’s finally caught up with him. But they found a way to keep him going for a lot longer than they anticipated because they found a breakthrough."

He also implied the former president’s cancer had returned. These remarks were not recorded as video was not allowed.
