Former President Biden’s cancer diagnosis has done little to quell concerns about his decision to run for reelection, and many in the party acknowledge the issue is likely to dog them as they look

After Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis and Representative Gerry Connolly’s death, some in the party want more elected officials, as one Democrat put it, to seek an earlier “escape hatch from politics.”

When Biden, 82, was diagnosed last week, his cancer had already spread to his bones. His last prostate screening was more than a decade ago. “President Biden’s last known PSA was in 2014," a spokesperson for the former president said this week.
