WASHINGTON, May 19, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Joe Biden will fight cancer "with his trademark resolve and grace," former president Barack Obama said Sunday, after Biden's office announced he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease.

"Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery," Obama, who made Biden his vice president, said on X.
