Ronny Jackson (R., Texas), the former White House physician who served both Barack Obama and Donald Trump, told the Free Beacon that Joe Biden\u2019s metastatic prostate cancer could leave him with as little as 12 to 18 months to live. <br><br>&quot;Hopefully it\u2019s longer than that, and\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0q3uHHqaxz\">pic.twitter.com\/0q3uHHqaxz<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Washington Free Beacon (@FreeBeacon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FreeBeacon\/status\/1925180461577359463?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 21, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ronny Jackson, who served as the White House physician under Presidents Obama and Trump, expressed concern over the severity of Biden\u2019s condition. In an interview with the Washington Free Beacon, Jackson suggested that Biden\u2019s metastatic prostate cancer, which has spread to his bones, could leave him with as little as 12 to 18 months to live. \u201cThis is not my area of specialty, but I have spoken to multiple urologists since this came out, and the general consensus is like, you know, it could be 12 to 18 months,\u201d Jackson stated. He also speculated that the cancer might have been diagnosed earlier and kept from the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions About Medical Oversight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical experts have expressed astonishment that such an aggressive form of cancer went undetected for so long. Dr. Howie Forman, a professor at Yale, noted that routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, which are standard for men over 50, should have indicated the presence of cancer earlier. \u201cIt is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency,\u201d Forman remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Steven Quay echoed these sentiments, calling prostate cancer \u201cthe easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts.\u201d He emphasized that routine blood tests can reveal how rapidly cancer is growing, making the late-stage diagnosis particularly troubling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dr. Kevin O\u2019Connor Under Scrutiny<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Kevin O\u2019Connor, who served as Biden\u2019s physician during his presidency, is now facing criticism for his role in the delayed diagnosis. In February 2024, O\u2019Connor declared Biden \u201cfit to serve\u201d following a routine physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. However, the recent cancer diagnosis has led to questions about the thoroughness of these evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some critics have pointed to O\u2019Connor\u2019s longstanding relationship with the Biden family as a potential conflict of interest. They argue that this close association may have influenced the transparency and objectivity of Biden\u2019s medical assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Political Ramifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing of the diagnosis has also raised political concerns. Former President Donald Trump and other Republicans have questioned whether the severity of Biden\u2019s condition was concealed during his presidency to avoid political fallout. Trump stated, \u201cI think it is very sad actually. I am surprised that the public wasn\u2019t notified a long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These revelations have added fuel to ongoing debates about the transparency of presidential health disclosures and the responsibilities of White House physicians. As the public seeks answers, the scrutiny surrounding Dr. O\u2019Connor and the handling of Biden\u2019s health continues to intensify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He was recent diagnosis of advanced-stage prostate cancer has ignited a firestorm of controversy, with critics questioning the transparency of his medical disclosures during his presidency.
