BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is returning to the public stage for a speech at Indiana University, three months after he acknowledged an affair with a woman hired to produce videos of him in 2006.
Edwards is scheduled to speak Tuesday night at the IU Auditorium about last week's election results. The school said the public lecture will include a question-and-answer session.
The former North Carolina senator and 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee has largely stayed in exile since admitting in August that he had an affair two years ago. He canceled a series of events before the election, saying he didn't want to be a distraction to Barack Obama's campaign.
Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, has held several events in the past two months advocating for health care reform.
She said last month that her health is "no worse" than 18 months ago, when she and her husband announced in March 2007 that her cancer had returned in an incurable form. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, but declared cancer-free after treatment.
