After a stretch of limited public appearances since leaving office, former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis arrived amid heightened scrutiny of his cognitive health.

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.

After the announcement that Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer, Trump Jr. initially reposted a message on X (formerly Twitter) wishing Biden a “speedy recovery” and writing, “Agree 100%.” But he quickly pivoted to attack mode, taking aim at former first lady Jill Biden, who holds a doctorate in education and is not a medical doctor.

Dilbert' cartoonist Scott Adams has metastatic prostate cancer similar to what President Biden just announced. He alluded to using California aid-in-dying law.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. 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 from Biden’s office said.
