In May 2025, the former president revealed he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones.
Despite undergoing treatment, including radiation and hormone therapy, Hunter stated, "The cancer has spread, metastasised into his bones and further."
He described the situation as "very painful" and "very debilitating in many respects," yet emphasized his father's determination: "he's still out there. He's still doing his thing...he so believes in this country."
Hunter appeared emotional during the interview, expressing the difficulty of witnessing his father's health decline: "It's really, really hard, and it's really sad to watch."
The elder Biden had previously reported that his treatment was going "really well" last month, but the recent update from Hunter indicates a troubling turn in his health condition.
“The interview also touches on Hunter Biden's presidential pardon, though details are not specified. The update comes as the former president's health remains a concern, with the disease spreading despite ongoing treatment.”
