The post also featured a photo of the Bidens, accompanied by their cat, Willow, symbolizing their unity and resilience in the face of adversity. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed inquiries about whether President Trump had reached out to Joe Biden following his diagnosis. Leavitt revealed that, to her knowledge, there had been no direct communication between the two leaders but expressed openness to the possibility of such a conversation. She shared that Trump had conveyed his sympathy and well wishes for a speedy recovery on his social media platform, extending warm regards to Jill and the Biden family.
Biden’s office disclosed on Sunday that the former president had been diagnosed with prostate cancer after a routine physical examination revealed a small nodule in his prostate. Despite the aggressive nature of the disease, the cancer was identified as hormone-sensitive, allowing for effective management. The statement from Biden’s office mentioned that he and his family were currently exploring treatment options with his medical team. The discovery of the nodule prompted further evaluation and the subsequent diagnosis, marking the beginning of Biden’s journey towards recovery.
