Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to a statement from his office released Sunday afternoon.
After a stretch of limited public appearances since leaving office, former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis arrived amid heightened scrutiny of his cognitive health.
Ezekiel Emanuel, a prominent Democratic figure, told “Morning Joe” the former president "did not develop [prostate cancer] in the last 100 to 200 days."
Biden, even after he has exited political life and as he faces a serious cancer diagnosis, remains a factor in the conversation about his party's political future.
A recent physical exam revealed a small nodule in former President Joe Biden’s prostate, ABC News has confirmed. “In a routine physical exam a small nodule was found in the prostate which necessitated further evaluation,” a spokesperson told ABC News.
