Joe Biden Reveals Cancer Diagnosis in New Memoir
Former President Joe Biden released a memoir detailing his legislative legacy, his 2024 election loss, and a previously undisclosed Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis.
Joe Biden released a memoir titled Promise Me, America, in which he defends his presidential record and reveals he was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer in May 2025. The book chronicles his legislative achievements in pandemic relief, clean energy, and infrastructure.
Biden justifies his 2024 reelection bid as a necessity to counter the threat posed by Donald Trump. He attributes his eventual electoral loss to negative narratives driven by pundits and the press rather than his health or age. Regarding the conflict in Gaza, Biden states he attempted to restrain the Israeli government but acknowledges that too many innocent Palestinians were killed.
In the book, the former president argues that his decision to seek a second term was driven by a desire to finish the job he started during his first term.
