A resurfaced video of Joe Biden saying he had cancer three years ago has been resurfaced by people accusing him of a "cover up."

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing 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,” the statement from Biden’s office said.

David Axelrod suggested on Sunday that discussions about Joe Biden's mental acuity should be set aside following the former president being diagnosed with cancer.

The former US president has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, his office says.
