Former President Joe Biden has now reportedly undergone a prostate evaluation after doctors discovered a “small nodule” during a routine examination.
This evaluation took place last Friday at a hospital in Philadelphia, and the news was confirmed by his spokesman.
While specific details about the nodule were not released, the New York Times indicated that such findings are relatively common for men of Biden’s age.
Biden, who left office in January 2025 as the oldest sitting president in U.S. history, has faced ongoing scrutiny regarding his health and physical fitness throughout his presidency and during his brief bid for re-election in 2024.
Concerns about his age have been a focal point, especially as he prepared to face Donald Trump in the election.
These apprehensions about his health significantly influenced his decision to withdraw from the race.
In February 2024, following a comprehensive physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Biden’s physician had declared him “fit to serve,” which helped to quell some fears regarding his age and health.
However, the recent discovery of the prostate nodule has reignited discussions about the implications of aging in political leadership, particularly in the context of a demanding role like the presidency.
The prostate evaluation is particularly noteworthy given that prostate health issues can affect many men as they age, leading to concerns about both benign conditions and more serious health risks.
The nodule’s discovery may prompt further testing and monitoring, which could impact public perception of Biden’s health status as he navigates his post-presidency life.
As the situation develops, it is likely to attract significant media attention, particularly in a political climate that often emphasizes age and vitality in candidates.
This story underlines the dishonestly of much of the media during the 2024 election, many of whom insisted that Biden was fit to serve another four years in office in spite of a plethora of evidence to the contrary.
