Former President Joe Biden has revealed in a recent interview that he would have resigned from his 2024 presidential reelection campaign had he known about his cancer diagnosis earlier in his presidency.
Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
Biden addressed his stage four prostate cancer diagnosis, which he announced four months after leaving office in 2024. He stated that his prognosis looks ‘very positive,’ emphasizing that many people with his type of cancer live for decades. He also revealed that he takes eight different pills daily as part of his treatment regimen.
Denial of Hiding Cancer
Biden denied rumors that he had hidden his cancer diagnosis while in office, especially in light of his sudden withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. He insisted that he was transparent with the public about his health and that he did not hide his condition.
Performance While in Office
Biden also addressed concerns about his performance during the 2024 presidential debates with Donald Trump, which led to several Democratic leaders pulling their endorsements. He downplayed the significance of the debate, calling it ‘not very consequential.’
Reflection on the Election
Despite his defense of his debate performance, Biden admitted that in hindsight, he might have resigned if he had known about his cancer while in office. He stated, ‘If I had known that I was feeling lousy because I had cancer, I would have resigned.’ However, he maintained that he was the best-equipped person for the job at the time.
Book Tour Adjustments
Biden also mentioned that he would be slowing down his book tour to promote his upcoming memoir, ‘Promise Me, America,’ due to his ongoing cancer battle.
