Hunter Biden Says Cancer May Have Affected Joe Biden During 2024 Debate

Hunter Biden said his father’s debate struggles may have stemmed from advanced prostate cancer that had spread to his bones, while doctors called that unlikely.

  • On the "Macrodosing" podcast this week, Hunter Biden claimed his father, President Joe Biden, unknowingly suffered from Stage 4 prostate cancer during his disastrous 2024 debate performance that ended the reelection bid.
  • The June 2024 debate effectively ended President Biden's reelection bid; he was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer in May 2025, nine months after bowing out of the race in late July 2024.
  • Medical experts including Dr. Paul Monk of Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and Dr. Paul Nguyen of Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute said it was "extremely unlikely" that prostate cancer caused the debate performance, as the disease does not metastasize to the brain.
  • Former First Lady Jill Biden told CBS News during her spring book tour that she thought the president was "having a stroke" while watching the debate, though President Biden previously blamed a "bad cold" for his performance.
  • Hunter's remarks came amid his recent media tour as Vice President Kamala Harris replaced President Biden as the Democratic nominee, later losing the general election to Donald Trump.
