Biden was not diagnosed with prostate cancer until May 2025, long after the election. That was not a factor in the election. The concern at the time was Biden’s mental acuity after the disastrous debate (ironic, given Trump’s obvious longstanding mental health issues). Biden may have been perceived as physically ill at the time of the election, but that was largely a creation of the biased media.
