The stands poured on both sides of the path for former President Joe Biden on Sunday after his cabinet announced that there was prostate cancer.
“Cancer is absolutely the worst,” says Megan McCain, whose father, the late Republican Senator John McCain, has died of brain cancer. “It’s hell. It is incredibly difficult for every family, wherever it is to deal with it. I wish nothing but healing, prayers, light and power of President Biden and his family. I do not believe that times like these are suitable for politics.”
The democratic reputation of California Ran Hannah said to X: “Praying for @joebiden and his family to defeat the cancer they have recently been diagnosed with. He and Jill have always been fighters and I am confident that they will meet this challenge with GRIT and GRACE.”
Georgia’s Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Green said he “regretted seeing this news. The cancer is really terrible. My father died in 2021 with cancer. He prayed for Joe Biden and his family.”
A spokesman for the former chief chief said on Sunday that the diagnosis was made on Friday after doctors discovered a small knot for Biden’s prostate, which needed an additional assessment.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was spotted a new prostate node finding after experiencing increased urine symptoms. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, characterized by a Glison evaluation of 9 (grade 5) with bone metastases,” the statement said.
“Although this is a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer seems hormone sensitive, which allows effective management,” the spokesman added. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment opportunities with their doctors.”

Democratic strategist and political commentator Simone Sanders-Townsend said: “Joe Biden is a wonderful man, a dedicated government official, a loving father, a husband and a grandfather. If you are a praying man like me, offer one.”
Weapons advocate Fred Gutenberg also took the X to praise the former president.
“If you followed my story, you know how much I love @joebiden and how much it meant for me,” he said. “He is a testament to decency and citizenship and everything that is good for America. Sending President Biden and his family a lot of love as they are now pursuing medical opportunities.”
Maine Susan Collins’ Republican Senator said he was “sad to hear about the diagnosis of President Biden’s cancer and I wish him and his family well when he began treatment.”
North Carolina’s Republican Senator Tom Tilis said he “prays for her full recovery.”
The Republican Senator of Utah Mike Lee has mourned “the sad news.”
Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kane, Vice Presidential candidate 2016, said he “prays for President Biden and his family as they take that challenge. Americans will be with them every step of the way.”
British journalist and television operator Pierce Morgan headed for social media users who were appearing to celebrate the news.
“I will block anyone I see – and there are already many of those abominable nonsense that fly around – mocking, celebrating or playing a guerrilla policy with Joe Biden’s health news,” he said. “The man has served his country for 50 years and is fighting for his life. Show some bloody respect.”
Former Biden TJ Ducklo spokesman wrote on the social media platform that “no one in America is more stronger than Joe Biden. Mine has metastasized on the bones as well. The cancer does not have a f ****** idea of who is dealing with. Betting against Biden has never been a bad bet.”
Democratic California Gavard Gavin Newo said: “Our hearts are with President Biden and his entire family at the moment. A man with dignity, strength and compassion as his deserves to live a long and beautiful life. Sending power, healing and prayer on his way.”
