Reactions pour in after former President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis


Well wishes are pouring in for former President Joe Biden after his office revealed on Sunday he’d been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

Biden was diagnosed with “prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” according to the statement. His office said it is a “more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle responded to the news on Sunday. Here’s what they had to say about Biden, 82:

House Majority Leader Rep. Steve Scalise said, “Praying for former President Joe Biden as he battles prostate cancer.”

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene both posted about Biden’s diagnosis. 

“I’m sorry to see this news. Cancer is truly awful.  My Dad passed away in 2021 with cancer. Prays for Joe Biden and his family,” Greene, a Georgia Republican and staunch ally of President Trump, wrote in a post on X.

North Carolina’s Sen. Tillis said he was praying for Biden’s full recovery.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom said his heart was with the former president and his family. 

“A man of dignity, strength, and compassion like his deserves to live a long and beautiful life. Sending strength, healing and prayers his way,” Newsom said.

Meghan McCain, whose father, Sen. John McCain, died after a battle with cancer, described the disease as “the absolute worst.”

“It is hell,” she wrote in a post on social media. “It is incredibly difficult for any family, anywhere that has to deal with it. Wishing nothing but healing, prayers, light and strength to President Biden and his family. I don’t believe times like these are appropriate for politics.” 

Former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris have not yet publicly responded to Biden’s diagnosis. 

Mr. Trump and Vice President JD Vance also have not yet released statements.

Others who reached out to the former president include Rep. Pat Ryan, Rep. Shontel Brown, Rep. August Pfluger, Sen. James Lankford, Rep. Chuck Edwards, Rep. Eric Swalwell, Rep. Sarah Jacobs, Rep. Greg Landsman, Rep. Veronica Escobar, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Sen. Peter Welch, Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Tim Kaine.
