Trump had expressed his support for his predecessor on Sunday in a post on social media.

As stated in ReutersTrump’s comments and other Republicans captured the refreshed focus on the health of the 82 -year -old democratic former president with the publication of a book that describes in detail the extensive concerns about Biden’s mental acuity as he sought his re -election in 2024.

The new book entitled ‘Original Sin’ (Original sin), of journalists Jake tapper and Alexemphasized Biden’s spiritual acuity during the last months of his term. Excerpts from the book have raised new questions about whether critical information was hidden by the American public about Biden’s ability to serve at the White House.

The medical view

THE Dr. HobertUrologist at Nyu Langone Health, stated that given the available check options, “It is a bit unusual in modern times to detect cancers at this advanced stage. “

About 70% of cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed before spreading to other organs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

US instructions do not constitute an annual blood test for men over 70 and it is not clear whether the annual presidential examination would include these examinations.

Biden did not face a serious challenge for the Democrats anointing in 2024, and party leaders repeatedly confirmed his ability to serve a second four -year term, although the 74% of the Americans in January 2024 he thought he was too big for the post, according to a poll by Reuters/Ipsos.
