Joe Biden Says Cancer Diagnosis Would Have Ended 2024 Re-election Bid
Former US President Joe Biden revealed in a People magazine interview that he was unaware of his metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis while in office and would not have sought a 2024 re-election if he had known. Biden, who ended his campaign after a poor debate performance against Donald Trump, defended his presidential fitness and said age alone was not disqualifying. He endorsed Kamala Harris, who lost the general election. Biden's cancer diagnosis came months after leaving office in 2025.
