Biden Spotted With Huge Post-Op Scar As Health Questions Loom

Newly released photographs have reignited concerns over Joe Biden’s health, showing a prominent scar on the former president’s head following a recent skin cancer operation.

Biden, 82, was seen on Saturday leaving St. Joseph’s Church in Delaware after attending Mass, this time without the bandage he had worn the week before. The New York Post reported that the large mark from his surgery was clearly visible.

Meanwhile, Jill Biden was photographed the next day heading to a Pennsylvania spin class, dressed in a U.S. Virgin Islands “Seas the Day” t-shirt and patriotic leggings.

Biden’s visible scar comes as his broader medical issues remain under scrutiny. The 46th president has faced multiple bouts with skin cancer, including the removal of a basal cell carcinoma during his White House years. In 2023, doctors removed another cancerous lesion from his chest. Then in May of this year, Biden disclosed that he was battling an “aggressive” prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones. His team maintains that the cancer is hormone-sensitive and can be managed, but outside experts caution it is unlikely to ever be cured.

Notably, Biden was not screened for prostate cancer during his presidency, reportedly due to his advanced age. His longtime physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, even declared him “fit to serve” as late as February 2024. Just months later, however, Biden’s cognitive decline was thrust into the spotlight during a disastrous debate against President Donald J. Trump.

That performance sparked a Republican-led House Oversight Committee investigation into whether Biden’s mental state had been deliberately hidden from the public. Lawmakers are also probing his use of an autopen to sign official documents, including a wave of controversial clemency orders issued just days before he left office.

Internal White House emails obtained by the New York Post reveal that Biden orally approved a plan on January 11, 2025, to commute sentences for inmates serving time on crack cocaine charges. However, the final warrant documents covering roughly 2,500 individuals were not signed—by autopen—until January 17, three days before he vacated the presidency.

The late-night correspondence among aides shows unease over whether Biden had truly reviewed or even seen the final paperwork. Then-Staff Secretary Stef Feldman admitted she would not approve the autopen signature without “email … confirming P[resident] signs off on the specific documents when they are ready.” Another official, Michael Posada, responded that they merely needed a statement making clear the documents “accurately reflect his decision.”

The clemency announcement was pushed out at 4:59 a.m. on January 17. Yet even supporters concede Biden never reviewed the final warrants. He later acknowledged to the New York Times that the autopen had been used “because there were a lot of them.”

For Republicans investigating Biden’s presidency, the episode underscores troubling questions: Was an ailing and cognitively diminished Biden truly in command of the decisions made under his name, or was his staff running the White House in his final months?
