Former President Joe Biden‘s aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis has thrown a wrench in Democrats’ plans to move beyond his presidency and 2024 campaign. Biden’s cancer diagnosis arrived amid heightened scrutiny of his cognitive health.
President Donald Trump strongly suggested that Joe Biden hid his prostate cancer diagnosis from the American people when opining on the news, adding that the alleged omission is worthy of investigation. “It’s a very, very sad situation. I feel very badly about it. And I think people should try and find out what happened,” Trump said Monday.
Biden, even after he has exited political life and as he faces a serious cancer diagnosis, remains a factor in the conversation about his party's political future.
Ezekiel Emanuel, a prominent Democratic figure, told “Morning Joe” the former president "did not develop [prostate cancer] in the last 100 to 200 days."
Plus, the Republican-led House Budget Committee voted to advance a massive bill for Donald Trump's agenda two days after conservative hard-liners voted to reject it.
