Former President Joe Biden made his first public appearance since announcing a prostate cancer diagnosis at his grandson’s high school graduation on Friday. The event celebrated Robert Hunter Biden II’s graduation from Salisbury School in Connecticut and was shared on social media by Jill Biden and Ashley Biden, who expressed pride in their family member’s achievement.
Biden’s cancer diagnosis was announced Sunday, following a discovery of a prostate nodule as he experienced increasing urinary symptoms. A statement from his office confirmed the diagnosis, which includes a high Gleason score indicating aggressive cancer with metastasis to the bone. His office also clarified that this was Biden’s first diagnosis of prostate cancer and noted he had not been tested for the disease in over a decade.
This news has reignited discussions among Democrats regarding Biden’s age and health, particularly in light of a new book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson that scrutinizes his health and cognitive abilities as he approaches the 2024 presidential campaign. Biden’s family has consistently defended him against concerns about his cognitive and physical health, with his granddaughter, Naomi Biden, criticizing the book as “uninspired lies” by self-serving journalists.
Naomi’s comments underscored the family’s stance, suggesting that the book pushes an irresponsible narrative while undermining her grandfather’s integrity and contributions. She called for a focus on genuine stories about Biden, hinting that history would ultimately recognize and reward the truth about his character.
