According to NBC News, Biden Jr. spoke about this in an interview with the BBC. Hunter Biden said that his father's health is deteriorating due to prostate cancer, and it is "very painful to see." "In my opinion, he should talk about it more... The cancer has spread, causing metastases in the bones and other tissues. It is very painful and very exhausting in many aspects – but he is still doing what he does," Biden Jr. said. Earlier, in June, former First Lady Jill Biden stated that Biden will apparently not be able to recover from the cancer before the end of his life. The aggressive form of prostate cancer in Biden was reported in May 2025. The former president had to deny that this information was allegedly known earlier and was being concealed.
