President Donald Trump reacted on Truth Social, writing: 

"Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery."

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed her support in a post on X.

"I’m thinking of the Bidens as they take on cancer, a disease they’ve done so much to try to spare other families from," she wrote. "Wishing you a speedy, full recovery."

Attorney General Pam Bondi said she was "saddened" to hear about Biden's diagnosis in a post on X.

"The Biden family is in my prayers during this difficult time," she added.

In a social media post, Meghan McCain expressed sadness over the news. Her father, former Senator John McCain, died of cancer in 2018.

"Cancer is the absolute worst," McCain wrote. "It is hell. It is incredibly difficult for any family, anywhere that has to deal with it."

"Wishing nothing but healing, prayers, light and strength to President Biden and his family," she added. "I don’t believe times like these are appropriate for politics."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., also expressed sympathy for Biden, writing that she was "sorry to see this news."
