Laura Loomer says Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis confirms her 2024 terminal illness claim |
Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis Sparks Political Firestorm
On May 18, 2025, former U.S. President Joe Biden was publicly diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. His medical team confirmed the cancer carries a Gleason score of 9—one of the most aggressive forms—but also emphasized it is hormone-sensitive, meaning it can be managed with treatment.
The news sent shockwaves through political and medical circles, not only for the seriousness of the diagnosis but for its political implications. Among the loudest voices reacting to the announcement was conservative commentator Laura Loomer.
Laura Loomer’s Explosive Claims
Loomer, known for spreading conspiracy theories, claims this diagnosis validates her July 2024 assertion that Biden was already terminally ill and that his condition had been deliberately concealed.
“He could die in the next two months,” Loomer posted on social media, suggesting the timing of the announcement was a “PR strategy” to deflect attention from upcoming exposés.
She also referenced a supposed medical emergency aboard Air Force One last year, which she claims signaled a health crisis far more serious than previously disclosed.

Medical Experts Disagree with Doomsday Predictions
Despite the serious nature of Biden’s cancer, oncologists and urologists caution against alarmist rhetoric. According to Dr. Judd Moul of Duke University, survival rates for metastatic prostate cancer have nearly tripled in the last decade.
“Men whose prostate cancer has spread can still live five, seven, even ten years,” Moul told The New York Times.
The American Cancer Society reports a 5-year survival rate of approximately 37% for metastatic prostate cancer. Factors like Biden’s access to top-tier medical care, the hormone sensitivity of the tumor, and ongoing treatments significantly alter the outlook from the dire predictions Loomer offers.
Biden says that his mother using windshield wipers to "get literally the oil slick off the window" is "why I and so damn many other people have cancer:
What the Medical Records Say
Biden was declared “fit to serve” after a routine physical in early 2024, just months before stepping down from the public eye. His team had long dismissed conspiracy theories, including a misinterpreted 2022 speech where he said, “I and many people I grew up with have cancer.” The White House later clarified that remark referred to past skin cancer treatment.
Importantly, Air Force One does have medical facilities, but no verifiable evidence supports Loomer’s claim of a mid-flight emergency.
Political Timing or Medical Reality?
Biden’s diagnosis comes on the heels of a turbulent political year. After a poor debate performance in early 2024, he endorsed Kamala Harris, who lost the general election to Donald Trump. Since then, Biden has kept a low profile, making the timing of this announcement seem suspicious to critics—but not to doctors.
Dr. Abraham Morgentaler, a Harvard-trained urologist, told The Wall Street Journal that while the cancer’s stage is serious, the public nature of the disclosure is medically typical once symptoms become obvious, such as urinary issues that led to the recent diagnosis.
A Personal Battle with National Implications
Biden’s connection to cancer runs deep. His son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015, and Biden launched the “Cancer Moonshot 2.0” initiative in 2022 aiming to reduce cancer deaths by 50% in 25 years. His diagnosis now adds a poignant personal layer to a national mission.
In a heartfelt post, Biden said:
“Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
Conclusion: Facts Over Fear
Laura Loomer’s claims, though dramatic, lack credible medical backing. While Biden’s cancer is indeed advanced and serious, the suggestion of a cover-up or imminent death is unsupported by available medical data and the statements of leading experts.
The truth is more nuanced: Biden faces a tough diagnosis, but modern treatments offer real hope. For now, he remains under close medical supervision, and his prognosis—though serious—is far from the death sentence Loomer suggests.
