A Biden aide said the former president's prior medical check for prostate cancer was more than a decade ago.He had a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test in 2014, the aide told reporters on Tuesday."Prior to Friday, President Biden had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer," the aide added.
The cancer diagnosis comes amid reports that the Democrat's aides sought to conceal other deteriorating health conditions from the public ahead of the 2024 election.Republicans argue that Biden, who ran for re-election as the oldest president in history at 81, was mentally and physically unfit for office.

"I've known Peter Dutton for a lot of years," the Dickson local told the BBC on polling day. "He's always been someone of high character, serious about effective policies and a lot of empathy for ordinary Australians.""He's very well respected in the community… People know him."
