Former President Joe Biden made his first public appearance since announcing his prostate cancer diagnosis at his grandson’s high school graduation on Friday. The event celebrated the achievements of Robert Hunter Biden II at the Salisbury School in Connecticut, with Biden’s family, including former First Lady Jill Biden and daughter Ashley Biden, present for the occasion. Photos shared by Jill Biden on Instagram highlighted the proud family moment, noting, “Proud Nana and Pop! Congratulations Hunter – we are so proud of you.”
Biden’s cancer diagnosis, revealed the previous Sunday, followed the discovery of a prostate nodule after he experienced increasing urinary symptoms. Subsequent medical assessments indicated he was diagnosed with a high-grade tumor with metastasis to the bone. His office clarified that this was the first diagnosis of prostate cancer he had ever received and that he had not undergone testing for over a decade.
The announcement reignited discussions among Democrats regarding Biden’s age and health, coinciding with the release of a new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. This book examined potential concerns regarding Biden’s physical and cognitive state ahead of the 2024 presidential campaign. Biden’s family has defended him against claims of declining health, with granddaughter Naomi Biden criticizing the book as “uninspired lies” that distort his character and narrative.
Naomi emphasized the need for truthful accounts of Biden’s integrity and suggested that “history will reward the truth,” asserting that the perspectives outlined in the book stem from anonymous sources attempting to absolve themselves of accountability for the current national issues.
