Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, have taken to social media to issue a sad statement related to Joe Biden. All this after the worst news was confirmed: the former president of the United States has cancer.

Just a few hours ago, it was confirmed that Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer with bone metastasis. This information was released through a statement from his personal office this Sunday, May 18.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was attended to for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increased urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” it was announced.

However, they also wanted to point out that “although this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive.” “Which allows for effective treatment,” they added.

As expected, reactions from the main political figures in the United States were not long in coming. Among them, Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama.

Through a post published on their networks, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have shown all their support to Joe Biden in these difficult times of his life:

“Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. No one has done more to find innovative treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I’m sure he will face this challenge with the determination and grace that characterize him. We pray for a swift and complete recovery.”

Like Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, Donald Trump has broken his silence through social media to show his affection for his political rival. Despite the words exchanged in recent months, the current president of the United States feels “saddened” by this situation:

“Melania and I are saddened to learn of Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We send our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a speedy and successful recovery.”

Another person who has already spoken out is the former Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris. Along with her husband, they have issued a statement lamenting Joe Biden’s situation.

Meanwhile, Harris has assured that “Joe is a fighter.” “I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership. We trust a complete and swift recovery,” she added at the end of her message.
