“What I can’t say, because there’s no evidence of it—if I had known that I was feeling lousy because I had cancer, I would have resigned,” Biden, 83, replied. “I would’ve not gone forward, because I don’t think an 80-year-old man with cancer should be running for [President].”

Biden’s office announced in May 2025 that he had been diagnosed a few days earlier with an aggressive form of prostate cancer and that tests indicated that the cancer had spread to his bones. He later had surgery and went through radiation therapy as part of his treatment.

“We let the public know when I found out, when I knew what was going on,” he said. “I wasn’t hiding it at all.”

“My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I’ve responded to treatment,” he said in a post on X. “Some days are better than others. It hasn’t stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.”

Weeks after the debate, Biden announced that he would suspend his re-election campaign and expressed his support for then-Vice President Kamala Harris to become the Democratic Party’s nominee.

The former President told PEOPLE that “so far, the two tests that have been done show that the cancer is not metastasized beyond what it already was” and that he is taking “eight different pills” each day. 

“I’m not saying I’ll live forever,” he said. “But the point is that I have all my faculties, I have access to all the things I had before and I feel good.”
