Vice President JD Vance sparks backlash

Joe Biden’s team recently announced that the 82-year-old former president has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, which has spread to his bones. Despite the seriousness of the diagnosis, doctors say it appears to be hormone-sensitive and potentially manageable. President Donald Trump responded with a message of support on Truth Social, expressing sympathy and wishing Biden a full recovery.

However, Vice President JD Vance drew criticism for his response, which many saw as inappropriate. While initially expressing hopes for Biden’s recovery, Vance quickly shifted to questioning the former president’s fitness for office and accused those around Biden of hiding his health issues from the public. He suggested that Biden’s health concerns raised serious questions about his ability to serve in office, especially given the responsibilities tied to national security. His remarks sparked backlash online, with many calling them “disgusting” and politically opportunistic during a time of personal crisis.
