President Joe Biden revealed in a recent interview that he was unaware of a cancer diagnosis during his time in office, and that he would not have pursued a second term had he known. The comments were made to PBS NewsHour, where Biden explained that the condition was discovered only after his presidency began.
In the interview, Biden said, “I did not know I had cancer while I was president and would not have sought a second term if I already had been diagnosed.” He did not provide details about the type of cancer or the timing of the diagnosis beyond its post‑presidency discovery.
The statement comes as the former president reflects on his health and the challenges of leading the country. No further medical information was offered in the discussion.
Sources confirm that Biden’s remarks were part of a broader conversation about his health and the decision to step down after one term. The interview was aired by PBS NewsHour, a public‑broadcast news service.
