Overview

  • Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer with bone metastases, confirmed by his office on May 18, and is exploring treatment options with his family and medical team.
  • The cancer, graded at Gleason 9, is hormone-dependent, which allows for potentially effective management despite its severity.
  • Bipartisan figures, including Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and Barack Obama, have expressed support and well-wishes for Biden's recovery.
  • Some Republican allies, such as JD Vance and Donald Trump Jr., have suggested the possibility of prior concealment of Biden's health issues during his presidency.
  • An investigative book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, released today, examines alleged efforts to obscure Biden's physical and cognitive decline while in office, fueling debates on presidential health transparency.
