WILMINGTON, DE — On Sunday, the personal office of former President Joe Biden released a stunning statement confirming that Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive and advanced form of prostate cancer. According to the announcement, the 82-year-old former president has a Gleason score of 9 — the highest possible — indicating the most aggressive stage of the disease. The cancer has already spread to his bones, making it far more dangerous and difficult to treat.
The diagnosis comes after Biden was evaluated for urinary symptoms last week, which led doctors to discover the prostate nodule. By Friday, the former president’s medical team confirmed the worst: metastatic prostate cancer, Grade Group 5, with bone involvement. While the statement optimistically described the cancer as “hormone-sensitive,” allowing for management through hormone deprivation therapies, experts widely agree that metastatic cancer in the bones is a serious, life-threatening condition that is rarely curable.
Biden’s office stated that he and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians. Meanwhile, Biden is reportedly spending the weekend at his Wilmington, Delaware home. However, the announcement raises far more questions than it answers — not only about Biden’s future, but about the pattern of deception and damage control that has surrounded his health for years.
Throughout Biden’s presidency, concerns about his mental and physical fitness dominated headlines. His gaffes, public stumbles, and moments of clear cognitive confusion became all too common. Yet his administration, aided by a compliant media, insisted everything was fine. Behind closed doors, insiders reportedly shielded the public from the extent of his decline. The recently released book “Original Sin” by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson reveals that Biden’s closest aides worked overtime to keep the public in the dark about his deteriorating condition.
Those suspicions were confirmed in dramatic fashion during Biden’s disastrous debate performance in June 2024. The American people watched in real-time as the sitting president struggled to maintain coherence and deliver even basic answers. Just weeks later, Biden abandoned his bid for reelection, handing the nomination to Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris would go on to lose in a landslide to Donald Trump, who reclaimed the White House after four years of Democrat chaos and failed leadership.
Even after leaving office, Biden continued to dismiss concerns about his health and age. Yet now, just months after Republicans retook the White House, Biden’s office has been forced to admit that he is battling one of the deadliest forms of cancer.
This isn’t Biden’s first encounter with cancer. In February 2023, he had a basal cell carcinoma — a common but typically non-lethal skin cancer — removed from his chest. In November 2021, doctors removed a benign but potentially pre-cancerous polyp from his colon. Biden also famously launched the “Cancer Moonshot” initiative during his administration, vowing to cut cancer deaths by half over 25 years. Ironically, that effort came after Biden lost his son, Beau, to brain cancer in 2015 — a tragedy he has often cited in public speeches.
But even as Biden positioned himself as a champion in the fight against cancer, his own party’s handling of his declining health tells a different story — one of spin, cover-ups, and political damage control. For years, Democrats, the media, and Biden’s handlers dismissed or downplayed legitimate voter concerns. They hid the truth from the American people, all in the name of protecting their political power.
Now, Biden’s diagnosis raises serious questions about what else they’ve been hiding. Did Biden’s inner circle know about this cancer long before this week’s announcement? Were symptoms ignored or downplayed during his presidency? And why should the public believe anything from the same people who insisted, until the very end, that Biden was fully capable of leading the nation?
Make no mistake, prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 9 and bone metastasis is a devastating diagnosis. It is aggressive, it spreads quickly, and it is notoriously difficult to treat. Hormone therapy may slow it down, but it rarely stops it. Most treatments at this stage focus on prolonging life, not curing the disease.
Biden’s defenders may try to spin this as just another manageable health issue. But the facts speak for themselves. Biden is 82 years old. He has already shown significant mental and physical decline. And now, he faces a life-threatening cancer that has already spread to his bones.
The timing of this revelation is no accident. Biden is out of office. The election is over. Democrats no longer need to hide his decline. But the American people deserve to know the full truth — not just about Biden’s health, but about the years of deception that kept voters in the dark.
Democrats have long preached about transparency and accountability, yet they have once again failed to live up to their own rhetoric. They hid Biden’s weaknesses while forcing America to endure four years of failed leadership, skyrocketing inflation, border chaos, rising crime, and international embarrassment. Now, as Biden retreats from public life, the country is left to clean up the mess.
Conservatives warned from the beginning that Biden was unfit for office. They were mocked, censored, and labeled conspiracy theorists. But time and reality have proven them right once again.
While we pray for Biden and his family during this difficult time, we must not ignore the political betrayal that brought us here. The American people deserve honest leadership, not carefully managed lies.
And as Biden faces this personal battle, it’s time for Democrats to face the truth — their deception failed the American people. And they must be held accountable.
