A physician who once served as White House doctor to both Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump has issued a sobering assessment of former President Joe Biden’s health. Speaking to the Washington Free Beacon, Representative Ronny Jackson (R., Texas) suggested that Biden’s prognosis following his metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis is bleak—warning that the 81-year-old may have less than a year to live.
The revelation stunned the public last month when Biden’s office disclosed that what had previously been described as a “small nodule” was, in fact, Stage 4 prostate cancer that had spread aggressively to his bones. The announcement has since sparked widespread concern and speculation about the former president’s health and the timeline of his diagnosis.
