Jill Biden Shares Health Update on Joe’s Cancer

Elizabeth Frantz / REUTERSJill Biden provided an update about her husband, former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis. The former first lady, 74, told Today show co-host Craig Melvin on Monday that “Joe will live with cancer till the rest of his life.” “You know, he’s doing OK,” she told Melvin of her 83-year-old husband. “Craig, you’ve been through this with your brother; you know how tough it is. And I think if he had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, that’s one thing, because that can be cured. But the fact that it metastasized to his bones, that makes it a whole different story.” The Bidens first announced that Joe had been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in May 2025. The 46th president had initially decided to run for a second term before withdrawing from the race in July 2024 amid concerns that he was not healthy enough to serve another term. His vice president, Kamala Harris, won the Democratic nomination but lost to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Asked why she didn’t urge her husband to drop out of the race sooner, Biden told Melvin that “it had to be his decision.”Read it at PeopleRead more at The Daily Beast.
