The timing has unsettled some friends and former advisers, who worry not only about Biden\u2019s well-being, but also about how much his visible health struggle could revive the bitter arguments of 2024 just as Democrats are trying to make the election a referendum on President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has repeatedly mocked Biden\u2019s age and acuity and replaced his portrait along a White House colonnade with an image of an autopen, a visual taunt built on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2025\/09\/24\/trump-presidential-portraits-biden-autopen\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2025\/09\/24\/trump-presidential-portraits-biden-autopen\/\">unsupported allegation<\/a> that aides used the device to exercise presidential authority for a debilitated commander in chief.<\/p>\n<p>Those close to Biden bristle at the way his illness and physical decline have become part of his critics\u2019 case against him and his party.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden gave voice to the family\u2019s frustration last month after a critic attacked his father\u2019s cancer diagnosis on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen man \u2014 I understand if you don\u2019t like my Dad\u2019s politics and you hate me because you believe everything Fox News has told you,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI\u2019m fine with that, but my Dad has cancer.

(Mega\/GC Images)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The Biden health debate may soon be reignited. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court cleared the way for the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, to obtain redacted transcripts and audio recordings that were among the evidence a special prosecutor used to portray Biden as an \u201celderly man with a poor memory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Questions about Biden\u2019s age, stamina and mental acuity shadowed much of his presidency and eventually overwhelmed his campaign for a second term.<\/p>\n<p>The health concerns became an acute political crisis after Biden\u2019s June 27, 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2024\/06\/27\/who-won-presidential-debate\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2024\/06\/27\/who-won-presidential-debate\/\">debate against Donald Trump<\/a>. Speaking in a weak, hoarse voice, Biden repeatedly lost his train of thought, struggled to complete answers and at times appeared unable to press a forceful case against his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s performance intensified doubts among Democratic lawmakers, donors and voters about both his ability to campaign and his capacity to serve through January 2029. Biden initially rejected calls to withdraw, attributing the performance to a cold, exhaustion and a bad night. But after more than three weeks of mounting pressure, he ended his reelection bid on July 21.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s planned return to the spotlight presents an awkward political challenge for Democrats. Many remain personally fond of Biden, grateful for the accomplishments of his presidency and sympathetic to a man battling a serious illness. But they are also trying to distance themselves from a 2024 campaign in which questions about his age, health and decision to seek reelection damaged public trust and divided the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden has every right to tell his story. But Democratic candidates are already working their tails off to overcome the political damage he left behind,\u201d said Sawyer Hackett, a Democratic strategist who worked on presidential campaigns for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. \u201cThe best thing Biden could do to help that effort is to get as far away from the spotlight as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In May 2025, four months after leaving the White House, Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. He is undergoing treatment for the disease, which can be managed but is not considered curable.<\/p>\n<p>In media<b> <\/b>interviews, former first lady Jill Biden has described her husband\u2019s diagnosis as deeply unexpected, saying the family was shocked to learn that the cancer had already reached Stage 4 and metastasized to his bones. Since then she has offered a cautiously optimistic assessment of her husband\u2019s health, saying his treatment is working and that he is maintaining a regimented schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Since leaving office, Biden has addressed the issue intermittently, generally offering upbeat but limited public accounts of his condition. He has made a handful of appearances, at Democratic Party events in South Carolina and South Dakota, and at the dedication of Obama\u2019s presidential library, where he beamed alongside several other former occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=8137\">Katy Perry \u2018appalled\u2019 that White House used her song in video about bombing Iran<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven all the health diagnoses, he was energetic, in good spirits,\u201d former Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison said of Biden at the South Carolina Democratic Party convention in May.
