Meghan McCain is sharing her support for former President Joe Biden after news broke of his cancer diagnosis.
“Cancer is the absolute worst. It is hell,” McCain, 40, wrote via X on Sunday, May 18. “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 concluded, “I don’t believe times like these are appropriate for politics.”
Meghan and Biden, now 82, made headlines in 2017 when he comforted her on the set of The View while breaking down in tears over father John McCain’s cancer battle. (The McCain family shared earlier that year that he was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor.)
Joe Biden Diagnosed With 'Aggressive Form' of Prostate Cancer
At the time, Meghan explained that her father had been diagnosed with the same cancer Biden’s late son, Beau, battled years prior. As Meghan became tearful, Biden moved seats to be closer to her.
“I think about Beau almost every day and I was told — I’m sorry — that this doesn’t get easier, but that you cultivate the tools to work with this and live with this. I know you and your family have been through a tragedy that I couldn’t conceive of,” Meghan said at the time.

Your dad, you may remember when you were a little kid, your dad took care of my Beau. Your dad … became friends with Beau. And Beau talked about your dad’s courage, not about illness, about his courage.”
Beau died in 2015 at age 46 after his battle with brain cancer, while the Arizona senator died in August 2018 at the age of 81. On Sunday, news broke that Biden had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Joe Biden Is ‘Concerned’ for King Charles III After His Cancer Diagnosis
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” a statement sent from Biden’s personal office to CNN read. “On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”
The statement continued, “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management.”
His family is currently “reviewing treatment options with his physicians.” Biden’s office previously confirmed that a “small nodule” had been found on his prostate during an annual physical. A statement said at the time, “In a routine physical exam, a small nodule was found in the prostate, which necessitated further evaluation.”
