Biden is diagnosed with ‘aggressive’ cancer and metastasis in the bones
Weeks later, under strong pressure from his allies, Biden agreed to withdraw from the race and allow Kamala Harris to be the Democratic candidate.
If initially there was an enthusiasm with her candidacy, she has lost strength in the last months of the campaign and ended up losing the presidency.
Within the Democratic Party, politicians divided themselves between those who blamed Biden for the delay in retreating and those who insisted that withdrawal would weaken the Democrats.
After taking over the White House, Trump also started using Biden’s health situation to accuse the press of hiding from Americans what he insists to be “the Democrat’s real situation”.
In February 2024, medical examinations indicated that there was no “new concern” with the health of the president and that he was “fit for work”.
At 82, Biden is at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. A few days ago, his advice had admitted that he was examined by a “small lump” discovered in his prostate.
