Joe Biden has publicly thanked people around the world for their support after announcing he’s battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
“Cancer touches us all,” he wrote in a post on Monday. “Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
Biden's office said doctors found the cancer last Friday after he reported urinary issues. It was confirmed to have spread to his bones, and was classified as high-risk with a Gleason score of 9. Despite the seriousness, the cancer is said to be hormone-sensitive — meaning it can still be treated effectively.
The news has stirred new questions about Biden’s health during his time in office, especially with a new book set to be released this week. Original Sin claims Biden’s team may have hidden signs of his decline, including an incident where he reportedly didn’t recognize actor George Clooney at a fundraiser. The book also describes internal discussions about possibly using a wheelchair for appearances.
Vice-president JD Vance, while offering well wishes, said Americans deserve honesty about whether Biden had been fit to serve.
“I don’t think he was able to do a good job for the American people,” Vance said, adding that responsibility lies more with staffers than Biden himself.
Biden dropped out of the 2024 election nearly a year ago, following growing concerns about his age and stamina.
Support has come from both political allies and former rivals, including President Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and Kamala Harris. Buckingham Palace confirmed King Charles, who is also undergoing cancer treatment, wrote privately to Biden with his best wishes.
