There are political scandals, and then there are scandals that cut to the heart of national trust. The slow-burning revelation surrounding former President Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer diagnosis is rapidly becoming the latter. What began as a routine medical disclosure has evolved into a credibility crisis—not just for Biden and his staff, but for the institutional fabric of the executive branch during his final months in office.
Let’s start with the facts: Biden was diagnosed with advanced-stage prostate cancer, a Gleason score of 9 (grade group 5), meaning aggressive malignancy with bone metastasis—a level of severity that doesn’t materialize overnight. According to a Biden spokesperson, his last known PSA test was in 2014. That was over a decade ago—when Biden was still Vice President—and long before any signs of sharp cognitive or physical decline were acknowledged by his allies.
CNN’s Arlette Saenz relayed the administration’s claim that Biden had no prior diagnosis until the Friday before the announcement. But medical experts and average Americans alike are raising eyebrows. Prostate cancer, especially one of this severity, doesn’t suddenly announce itself without symptoms, particularly when it’s metastasized to bone. That level of progression suggests the disease had been advancing quietly—and dangerously—for years.
And that’s precisely what sets off alarm bells.
Presidents, by tradition and national expectation, undergo regular, comprehensive physicals, with results made public in part to reassure Americans about their leader’s health. Yet we’re now being asked to believe that for eleven years, the leader of the free world—at an age and in a position where vigilance is paramount—skipped the most basic prostate cancer screening?

The American Cancer Society recommends that men over 50 at average risk consider testing. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force advises screening from ages 55 to 69, while the American Urological Association suggests stopping at 70. Biden was 71 in 2014, and yet even then he was within the window of concern. What changed after that? Why no PSA checks during the eight years that followed—including four years in the most scrutinized role on Earth?
The official narrative simply doesn’t pass the smell test. It raises the unmistakable specter of a deliberate cover-up, one cloaked in political expedience rather than transparency. Because it’s not just the cancer—it’s what the cancer represents: a physical manifestation of what millions of Americans had been sensing for years. That something wasn’t right. That the president wasn’t sharp. That the man speaking from behind the podium, signing bills and leading a military superpower, was diminishing before our eyes.
Yet despite all this, his party kept him in office. The White House, congressional Democrats, legacy media—they closed ranks, dismissing concern as conspiracy, attributing clear warning signs to “gaffes” or “stutters.” Until the facade could no longer hold, until the dam burst during a disastrous debate, and they were forced to admit the truth.
But by then, the damage had been done. A nation was led by a president potentially suffering from undiagnosed, untreated cancer, and a cabinet that either didn’t know—or worse, did and said nothing. And now the very figure elevated to succeed him—Kamala Harris—was part of that daily apparatus. She was there, every step of the way, watching and engaging with a man who many now say was no longer fit for office.
This isn’t just about mismanagement. This is about dereliction of duty, national security compromise, and the intentional gaslighting of an entire country. This is a scandal not just of health but of deception at the highest levels of government.
