The White House confirmed the diagnosis, which includes ‘metastasis to the bone,’ as part of a broader update on the President’s health. Biden’s medical team has not yet disclosed the stage of the cancer or the specific treatment plan being considered.
The news has sparked a wave of reactions from both supporters and critics, with many expressing concern over the potential impact on the administration’s policies and the upcoming presidential elections.
