  • WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Former President Joe Biden's cancer announcement revived questions on Monday about the extent of his health issues during his tenure, with Vice President JD Vance saying Biden should have been more transparent with the public. The remarks by Vance, a Republican, captured the renewed focus on the health of the 82-year-old Democratic former president with the publication of a book that details widespread concerns about Biden's mental acuity among aides and Democratic insiders

President Joe Biden's recent comments about being diagnosed with cancer have sparked confusion and concern, as the White House clarified that he was referring to having cancerous skin lesions removed in 2023, not a new diagnosis. During a speech in 2022, Biden mentioned having "a cancer" but did not specify the type, leading to speculation. The White House confirmed that Biden had basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer, removed from his chest in February 2023, and no further treatment was required. This clarification came after Biden's remarks at a wind energy facility in Somerset, Massachusetts, where he spoke about the environmental impact on health, including his own experience with cancer. The incident has raised questions about transparency and communication from the White House regarding the president's health.
