Joe Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis has rocked the political world, drawing rare bipartisan sympathy.
The Daily Mail reported that the former president, now 82, faces a grueling fight as the cancer has spread to his bones. Even his old allies, Barack and Michelle Obama, have piped up, though their words ring hollow given past betrayals.
Last week, a small prostate nodule raised alarms, and by Friday, doctors confirmed a Gleason score of 9, signaling a brutal battle ahead.
Biden’s team insists the hormone-sensitive cancer is manageable, but the metastasis to his bones paints a grim picture.
This news follows Biden’s February 2024 physical, where his doctor bafflingly declared him “fit to serve.” Biden’s history with cancer is no secret—his son Beau’s 2015 death from brain cancer still haunts him.
He’s had his brushes, too, with a chest lesion removed in 2023 and non-melanoma spots carved out before his presidency. Yet, this latest diagnosis hits harder, exposing the fragility of a man who clung to power despite obvious decline.
Biden’s Cancer Moonshot, relaunched in 2022, aimed to slash cancer deaths by 2047, a noble cause rooted in Beau’s tragedy. He poured his heart into it as vice president under Obama, but now, irony stings as he battles the disease himself. Turns out, even the loftiest initiatives can’t shield you from fate.
Political vultures have circled Biden since his June 2024 debate flop against Trump, where he looked like a man lost in time.
Rumors swirled that Obama, once his closest ally, lost faith and pushed for a new Democratic face. By July 21, Biden bowed out, endorsing Kamala Harris, who promptly tanked against Trump in November.
Obama’s X post drips with crocodile tears: “Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family.” He praises Biden’s cancer fight, saying, “Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments.” But where was that loyalty when Biden was floundering in 2024, abandoned by his old boss?
Michelle Obama’s silence during Biden’s campaign speaks volumes—she didn’t lift a finger until he quit. Her 23-minute DNC speech in August 2024 never once named Biden, a snub that cut deep.
Sources say her grudge traces back to the Biden family’s cold shoulder to her friend Kathleen Buhle, Hunter’s ex-wife.
Biden’s bitterness toward Obama festers, fueled by a “deep sense of betrayal” from 2024. He felt discarded, despite years of loyal service as Obama’s VP. Actions have consequences, and Obama’s disloyalty left scars that no X post can heal.
Kamala Harris, no fan of Biden’s either, chimed in on X: “Joe is a fighter.” She and Doug Emhoff, who called Biden “my friend,” expressed hope for a speedy recovery. But Harris’s own 2019 debate jab at Biden still rankles Jill Biden, proving old wounds don’t easily fade.
Even Trump, never one for warm fuzzies, offered condolences on Truth Social, wishing Biden “a fast and successful recovery.” Donald Trump Jr. echoed, “Politics aside, we wish him well.” It’s a rare moment when DC’s venom pauses, though don’t expect it to last.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, no Biden fan, shared her cancer loss on X, saying, “My Dad passed away in 2021 with cancer.”
Her empathy, raw and real, contrasts with the polished platitudes of Biden’s Democratic “friends.” Sometimes, humanity trumps ideology.
A Harris campaign adviser, quoted in the Washington Post, called Biden’s 2024 run “almost Shakespearean,” blaming him for sinking both his and Harris’s campaigns. The adviser’s quip stings because it’s true—Biden’s stubbornness cost the Democrats dearly. Hubris, not cancer, was his first fatal flaw.
An upcoming book, Original Sin by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, set to drop this week, promises to expose Biden’s cognitive decline and its cover-up. Allies now admit what conservatives long suspected: Biden’s team hid his frailty to prop up a doomed reelection bid. The truth always outs, doesn’t it?
