Jill Biden indicated Tuesday that Joe Biden is struggling with his cancer treatment and admitted she doesn’t know if the 46th president could have completed a second term if he had won re-election in 2024.
The former president was diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer that had spread to his bones in May 2025, after he left the White House. He completed radiation therapy in October.
“Cancer is really tough,” Jill Biden told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” while promoting her memoir “View from the East Wing.
“I would say he’s doing OK,” she added. “But cancer takes its toll. He gets tired a little more often, but I don’t know, it’s been, it’s been tough.”
She also expressed confusion about why Joe was not diagnosed sooner, saying: “We did have amazing health care in the White House, but somehow this was missed.”
The former first lady conceded that doctors followed recommended guidelines that discourage prostate cancer screenings in men over the age of 70.
When asked if Joe Biden could have served until January 2029, Jill Biden responded: “I don’t know. I don’t know the answer to that.”
Biden also expressed confidence that her husband would have beaten Donald Trump in the 2024 election if he had stayed in the race.
“I believe he would have beat Donald Trump in that election.”
The former first lady otherwise declined to discuss the current president during the wide-ranging interview.
