A one-time Democratic rival to Joe Biden has weighed in on the suggestion that there was an ulterior motive behind the former president’s disclosure of his advanced cancer diagnosis.
Dean Phillips, a former Minnesota congressman who launched a long-shot bid challenging Biden in the 2024 Democratic presidential primary, toldThe New York Times it cannot be “coincidental” that Biden revealed he has cancer amid renewed scrutiny over his fitness for office.
Biden’s office said Sunday that the 82-year-old has an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. The diagnosis was revealed after days of debate over whether Biden was mentally and physically fit to serve another four years in office, a question that already dogged his 2024 reelection campaign.
