Incredibly, President Joseph Biden did not reveal to the public that he had prostate cancer that had metastasized. The looming question is, when did he know? This is a looming question because the answer drastically transformed the course of American history.
The President of the United States has access to the finest medical care available. The President receives an annual check-up, and the medical report is usually released to the press. Biden mentioned that his last prostate exam was in 2014. That’s quite a while back, more than a decade ago. Biden has faced traumatic upheavals in his life. He lost his wife and a child to a car accident and his beloved son to brain cancer. His second son has struggled with addiction, making it tough for a father and family living a public life.
What if Biden had told the public he had cancer earlier? It might have drastically changed and challenged the Democratic Party. What if the public had known? A game of politics was played behind the scenes. First, you ask if Kamala would have been the nominee, or would the party have had time to close ranks, look within, and choose a winning ticket.
Secondly, Kamala was put in an awkward position. Was she ready to run, or was this Biden’s payback to the Democrats, particularly Obama, who did not support Biden when he ran against Hillary Clinton?
At any rate, she ran an incredible campaign in a very short time. Had she had time to build a campaign, she might have won.
At any rate, Biden drastically changed the course of history. He clearly lost the first debate, handing the election to Trump with a poor performance that revealed he was not up to par. He looked pale and unwell; we didn’t understand what was wrong, but the public sensed something was off. Was it really age, although he and Trump are only a couple of years apart? Could the media have done a better job with its investigation? Biden maintained he could beat Trump because he had done so in 2021. But 2024 was different; it was a different race. Trump was relentless, and Biden couldn’t rise to the presidential occasion.
So, who is responsible for this mishap? The President of the United States is too important for the public not to be informed about his health. The course of history changed based on Biden’s revelations about his health.
