WASHINGTON, D.C. — The nation is in shock tonight as reports confirm that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. According to a statement released by his family, the 82-year-old former president is now undergoing advanced treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
White House insiders revealed that the diagnosis came after weeks of fatigue and sudden weight loss. “It was discovered during a routine medical check-up, but doctors quickly realized the situation was more serious than expected,” one source close to the family shared.
Biden’s family has asked for privacy as they navigate this difficult time, while close allies and political figures from both parties have sent their well wishes. “He’s a fighter,” said a longtime friend. “If anyone can battle through this, it’s Joe.”
The statement also expressed gratitude to the medical team for acting swiftly and providing what the family described as “world-class care.” President Biden’s son, Hunter, and wife, Jill Biden, are reportedly by his side around the clock.
This news comes at a politically sensitive moment, as speculation grows about the future of the Democratic Party and its leadership heading into the next election cycle.
Doctors have not disclosed the stage of the cancer, but sources indicate that it is “fast-moving” and requires immediate, aggressive treatment.
As the nation waits for further updates, messages of support have flooded social media under the hashtag #PrayForBiden, reflecting the deep concern and compassion from both supporters and critics alike.
