Trump wishes his former rival a swift and successful recovery after prostate cancer announcement
President Donald Trump reacted on Sunday evening to the news of Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, expressing sympathy despite their long-standing political rivalry. Writing on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Trump said:
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s medical diagnosis. We wish him a swift and successful recovery.”
The message comes just hours after Biden’s spokesperson confirmed that the former president has been diagnosed with an aggressive but treatable form of prostate cancer. The announcement followed weeks of speculation regarding Biden’s declining health and his eventual withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.
Trump’s comment marked a rare moment of bipartisanship between two of the most polarizing figures in modern American politics. While their relationship has been defined by sharp public clashes and mutual criticism, the gesture of goodwill was widely noted by political observers.
Biden, who is currently undergoing consultations with his medical team regarding treatment options, has not yet responded publicly to Trump’s message.
