Seemingly defiant about health concerns that long plagued his time in the White House, Joe Biden is now sharing details about his aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis.
His Memorial Day appearance revealed a man determined to project strength despite serious illness.
The Democrat’s renewed spirit comes as new evidence emerges about how the White House potentially covered up his declining condition during his failed tenure.
Biden broke his silence about his prostate cancer diagnosis during a brief exchange with reporters in Delaware.
Despite the severity of his condition, he tried to downplay concerns by focusing on his treatment plan.
The 82-year-old is taking medication and working with a surgeon who had the same diagnosis over three decades ago.
“The expectation is we’re going to be able to beat this, I’m feeling good,” Biden told reporters.
“It’s all a matter of taking one particular pill for the next six weeks and then another one. It’s not in any organ, my bones are strong, so I’m feeling good,” he added.
However, the aggressive nature of his cancer raises serious questions about his long-term prognosis and the transparency of his health disclosures while in office.
Biden’s health has been a contentious issue throughout his political career, culminating in his disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump in 2024, which forced him to end his reelection campaign.
Democrats abandoned Biden after that embarrassing showing, which revealed to millions of Americans what conservatives had been saying for years about Biden’s mental decline.
Biden’s apparent improvement at the Memorial Day event is suspicious considering the accusations in a new book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson titled “Original Sin.”
The bombshell publication accused Jill Biden of actively working to conceal her husband’s deteriorating mental state from the public while he was in the White House.
The bombshell disclosure has raised alarming questions about who was actually making critical decisions.
The Trump administration has not minced words about these revelations. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that “the former first lady should certainly speak up about what we saw in regard to her husband and when she saw it and what she knew.”
Leavitt’s remarks highlight the potential constitutional crisis that may have occurred under Biden’s leadership.
Biden’s defensiveness was on full display when questioned about his fitness.
When asked about fellow party members saying he should not have run again, Biden stated, “Why didn’t they run against me then? Because I’d have beaten them.”
He seemed oblivious to the fact that his own party forced him aside because they recognized he could not defeat President Trump.
Biden’s new denials about his condition ring hollow after years of stumbling, mumbling, and wandering incidents that were carefully documented despite mainstream media attempts to cover for him.
His cancer diagnosis adds another chapter to the concerning health narrative that dominated his single, failed term in office.
