Joe Biden’s cancer has spread further, leaving him in ‘very painful’ condition, Hunter reveals

Former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has spread and is causing him significant pain, his son Hunter Biden revealed during a Friday interview. “The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further,” Hunter Biden told the BBC in an interview that aired Friday. “It’s very painful, and it’s very debilitating in many respects. “It’s really sad to watch,” Hunter Biden said. “The only thing that I’d say about my dad, about his health right now, is I wish he would complain more, because it’s not good.” Despite his poor health, Hunter Biden said his father is “still doing his thing,” attending speaking engagements. HUNTER BIDEN CLAIMS UNDER OATH THAT HIS FAMILY IS BROKE AMID FIGHT OVER $17M LEGAL BILL Joe Biden revealed his prostate cancer diagnosis in May 2025, just months after he departed the Oval Office. The diagnosis at the time was that the cancer was Stage 4, “aggressive” and had already spread to his bones. He received a Gleason score of 9, indicating both the cancer’s aggressive nature and the potential that he had been living with it for years. WATCH: WOULD-BE SECOND-TERM PRESIDENT BIDEN LEFT SEARCHING FOR FAMILY ON STAGE AFTER OBAMA CENTER OPENING “He had it while he was president,” said Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, vice provost and oncologist at the University of Pennsylvania, adding Joe Biden “probably had it at the start of his presidency in 2021. “He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days,” Emanuel said, according to the American Journal of Medical Care. Joe Biden’s wife, Jill, previously told the hosts of ABC’s “The View” that his cancer has slowed him down. “He keeps his schedule, but he’s slowed down,” she said in June. “I mean, Stage 4 cancer is — and he’s 83 — so, I think the mix of everything and the medications that he’s taken has made life a little more difficult these days.” Fox News Digital contacted the Office of Joe and Jill Biden for further comment.

Hawaii voters hit the polls as Gov Josh Green dominates, progressive takes aim at Dem congressman

Hawaii voters hit the polls as Gov Josh Green dominates, progressive takes aim at Dem congressman

Hawaii voters will decide Saturday who advances to the November general election, with key contests including the race for governor and the battle to represent the state’s 1st Congressional District. Gov. Josh Green, who was first elected in 2022, is heavily favored to win the Democratic primary, where he faces three little-known competitors.  His challengers include George “Teva” Lucas-Tadeo, a Democratic socialist who has promised on social media to open a government-run grocery store and legalize recreational marijuana. David “Duke” Bourgoin is mounting his second primary challenge against Green after losing to him in 2022, when he captured only 590 votes against Green’s 158,161. He also lost two bids for Honolulu mayor, in 2022 and 2024. JOHNSON’S STRATEGY TO BYPASS DEMOCRATS’ SAVE ACT BLOCKADE SURVIVES KEY VOTE, HANDING GOP BIG WIN Lauren Kapoliahiʻlaka Shim is also seeking the Democratic nomination. She is the CEO and founder of Aloha AI Incorporated, according to her LinkedIn profile. Neither Lucas-Tadeo nor Shim had campaign websites, and none of Green’s three challengers had raised any money in the race as of June 30, according to Honolulu Civil Beat.  Green has raised about $3.5 million, far outpacing Republican Gary Cordery, the race’s second-highest fundraiser, who has raised about $313,000, according to Honolulu Civil Beat. Cordery, owner of the contracting company Kingdom Builders, and Ken Fujiyama, an entrepreneur and investor, are competing for the Republican nomination and a chance to end nearly two decades of Democratic control of the governor’s mansion. The last Republican to serve as Hawaii’s governor was Linda Lingle, who held the office from 2002 to 2010. Cordery has campaigned on lowering Hawaii’s high cost of living, expanding housing and cracking down on government waste and corruption. He has proposed adding 15,000 homes for working families, using state-owned land for housing and eliminating the state’s general excise tax on food and medicine. Fujiyama has also proposed a plan to tackle the housing affordability crisis by developing 100,000 residential lots and partnering with large landowners to spur growth. MICHIGAN’S TOP ELECTION OFFICIAL WINS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY FOR GOVERNOR, ADVANCES TO BATTLEGROUND RACE Whoever emerges from the Republican primary will face an uphill battle to unseat Green if he secures the Democratic nomination. Green holds a 56% approval rating, while the Cook Political Report rates the race “Likely Democrat” and gives Democrats a 13-point advantage. Eyes outside Hawaii will be locked on the Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District, where state Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole is challenging Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawaii. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Case, who is seeking a seventh term, has represented the district since 2019 and argues that his seniority and position on the Appropriations Committee give Hawaii greater influence in Washington.  Keohokalole, who is endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders‘ group, Our Revolution, is running on a progressive platform that includes Medicare-for-all and opposition to ICE and President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Keohokalole is seeking to portray Case as out of touch with Democratic voters, pointing to the congressman’s vote with House Republicans to pass Trump’s SAVE America Act, which would require voters to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Given the district’s strong Democratic lean, whoever wins the party’s primary will likely be favored to win the seat in November. Polls close at 7 p.m.
