Monday, May 19, 2025 - Donald Trump has spoken out after former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with cancer.
Following an announcement from Biden's personal office that
he has been diagnosed with "aggressive" prostate cancer, Trump, 78,
shared a statement on Truth Social wishing Biden, 82, a
"successful recovery."
"Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe
Biden's recent medical diagnosis," Trump wrote. "We extend our
warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a
fast and successful recovery."
Earlier on Sunday, May 18, Biden's personal office announced
in a statement obtained by Wall Street Journal reporter Ken
Thomas that he received the diagnosis after seeing a doctor last week.
"Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new
finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary
symptoms," the statement said.
"On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer,
characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the
bone," the statement continued. "While this represents a more
aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive
which allows for effective management. The President and his family are
reviewing treatment options with his physicians."
A number of other political figures have spoken out in the
wake of Biden's medical announcement, including his former vice
president, Kamala Harris.
