Barack and Michelle Obama React to Biden’s Can.cer Diagnosis Amid Political Tensions
After former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate ca.nc.er that has spread to his bones, Barack Obama expressed support, in spite of recent political tensions.
“Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family,” he wrote on X, praising Biden’s leadership in ca.n.cer research and expressing hope for a full recovery.
The diagnosis, which followed reports of a prostate nodule, was confirmed as a Gleason score 9 c.an.cer — among the most aggressive forms.
Biden’s team shared that the ca.nc.er is hormone-sensitive and treatable.
Michelle Obama reposted Barack’s message but did not add her own words.
Her silence and past decisions, like not speaking at the 2024 DNC while Biden was still the nominee, have fueled rumors of a rift — especially linked to her loyalty to Kathleen Buhle, Hunter Biden’s ex-wife.
According to reports, Barack Obama lost confidence in Biden after his poor 2024 debate performance against Trump and covertly supported efforts to replace him.
Biden was said to feel betrayed but endorsed Kamala Harris after stepping down.
Harris later lost the election, leading to Democratic regret over Biden’s late withdrawal.
Trump and other GOP figures, including Donald Trump Jr. and Marjorie Taylor Greene, expressed sympathy, with Trump wishing Biden a speedy recovery.
In the meantime, a forthcoming book, Original Sin, claims there was a cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline during his presidency.
