Barack Obama has offered his condolences to Joe Biden following his devastating prostate cancer diagnosis - after he and Michelle helped to oust him as the Democrat presidential candidate.
The former president joined a chorus of politicians across both sides of the divide to offer support to the 82-year-old.
'Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family,' Obama wrote on X.
'Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.'
Hours earlier, a spokesperson for Biden revealed he had been diagnosed with an 'aggressive form' of prostate cancer.
