Jill and Joe Biden are facing a difficult time as Joe was recently diagnosed with stage 4 aggressive prostate cancer, which has already spread to his bones. Despite an outpouring of support, Jill is now facing criticism, with some accusing her of “elder abuse” for supporting Joe’s re-election bid despite his declining health.
The diagnosis, confirmed earlier this month, followed Joe’s visit to a doctor for urinary issues. His cancer has a Gleason score of 9, meaning it’s high-grade, though hormone-sensitive and potentially manageable.
Joe, now 82, has stepped back from the 2024 election and returned home to Delaware. Critics, including Washington Post columnist Sally Quinn, blame Jill for not stopping him from running again, calling it “a terrible disservice to the country” and suggesting she failed to protect him.
Some have also questioned how his condition went undetected, given his access to top-tier medical care.
Meanwhile, Jill Biden has drawn attention for her youthful appearance at 73. Experts suggest she may have had non-surgical cosmetic treatments like Morpheus8 or HIFU, though she’s never confirmed any procedures. Jill credits her health and appearance to daily exercise and a consistent wellness routine.
