Bill Clinton weighs in on Joe Biden’s health

President Bill Clinton has weighed in on Joe Biden‘s health, saying he never doubted the former president’s mental state once.

Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone, his office revealed on May 18, after Biden faced significant scrutiny over his health throughout his presidency and during his brief 2024 reelection campaign.

The news has sparked speculation about whether Biden and the White House knew about his declining health earlier while carrying out a cover-up.

But Clinton has said Biden was in “good shape” when he saw him last.

“I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape,” he told CBS Sunday Morning. “I had never seen him and walked away thinking, he can’t do this anymore.”

He went to say that he had not read Original Sin, a book written by CNN journalist Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson in which several named insiders claim the former U.S. president was faltering physically and cognitively in a decline that was hidden from the American public.

“I didn’t want to because he’s not president anymore, and I think he did a good job,” Clinton said. “I think we are facing challenges today with our president in our history. And some people are trying to use this as a way to blame him for the fact that Trump was reelected.”
