Biden's Son Says Former U.S. President Struggling Painfully with Metastatic Cancer

Former U.S. President Joe Biden is battling metastatic prostate cancer in severe pain, according to his younger son, Hunter Biden.

In an interview with the BBC on the 8th (local time), Hunter Biden opened up about his father's health condition, stating, "The cancer has metastasized and spread to his bones and beyond. It is very painful," adding, "It is truly sad to watch."

He added, "If there's one thing I can say about my dad's health right now, it's that I wish he would complain a little more."

Following his departure from office, Former President Biden revealed in May of last year that he was battling prostate cancer that had spread to his bones, and underwent surgery to remove skin cancer cells in September of the same year.

Hunter Biden shared that despite his ongoing battle with illness, the former president continues to speak out on issues he cares about.

"My father believes in this country," he said, adding, "I promise you that as long as he is alive, he will continue to fight."

During his father's presidency, Hunter Biden was convicted of federal gun violations and indicted on tax charges.

In December 2024, toward the end of his term, Former President Biden pardoned his son despite facing criticism.

Hunter Biden acknowledged that the pardon was "unfair" and "not good" for the United States and his father's legacy.

He also remarked that, having received the pardon, he is "the most privileged person in the world."
