The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg defended former President Joe Biden following his public disclosure of a stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, emphasizing that the illness was not something he had been “carrying around or hiding” during his presidency.

“Had this been the case while he was president, there is no way you wouldn’t have known because he would have had to have these treatments,” Goldberg stated. “This was not something that he was carrying around or hiding.”
