Biden makes first public appearance since prostate cancer diagnosis, showing up in Connecticut on Friday for a family celebration. The former president joined relatives at his grandson’s high school graduation.
Joe Biden attended the ceremony for Robert Hunter Biden II, who graduated from the Salisbury School. The event marked Biden’s first public sighting since revealing his recent cancer diagnosis.
Photos shared by family members captured the former president smiling beside his wife, children, and grandchildren. One caption read, “Proud Nana and Pop! Congratulations Hunter — we are so proud of you.”
Additional images appeared to show Biden arriving at an airport later that day. However, details about the airport location were not confirmed.
Last weekend, Biden disclosed he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. His team stated he was tested after experiencing worsening urinary symptoms. A biopsy confirmed a Gleason score of 9, with the disease already spread to the bones.
On Tuesday, his office clarified that Biden had not been tested for prostate cancer in over ten years. They also emphasized that he had no prior diagnosis before last week’s examination.
Biden makes first public appearance since prostate cancer diagnosis amid renewed conversations about his health. The announcement closely followed the release of a new book that raised questions about his physical and cognitive condition during the 2024 campaign.

His granddaughter Naomi Biden publicly criticized the book. She described its claims as lies and called the authors irresponsible. In her statement, she praised Biden’s character and accused the media of exploiting his health struggles.
She added that real stories would be told in time, suggesting history would favor the truth. Her words reflected strong frustration from within the Biden family.
