Event Summary

Former US President Joe Biden recently underwent Mohs surgery to remove skin cancer lesions from his forehead, as confirmed by his spokesperson Kelly Scully. This procedure follows a previous basal cell carcinoma removal in 2023 and a more significant diagnosis in March of aggressive prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. The ongoing health challenges for the 82-year-old Joe Biden were a factor in his decision to abandon his bid for a second presidential term in July 2024, leading to Kamala Harris becoming the nominee. The Biden family has a history with cancer, with his son Beau dying from brain cancer and his wife Jill Biden also having cancerous lesions removed. Donald Trump initially offered well wishes but later questioned the transparency of Joe Biden's health disclosures.
