**JD Vance Sparks Backlash Over Biden Cancer Comments**
On May 19, JD Vance faced criticism after commenting on Joe Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis. The 82-year-old former president was recently diagnosed with a Gleason 9 cancer with bone metastasis, though doctors say it’s hormone-sensitive and treatable.
Donald Trump offered well wishes, while Vance, speaking after returning from the Vatican, said, “We obviously hope for the best… it does sound quite serious.” His remarks were seen by some as lacking empathy, fueling online backlash.
