Former president Joe Biden made his first public remarks since his prostate cancer diagnosis last week, telling reporters at Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport on Friday that he was “feeling great.” Speaking to a small crowd outside the airport, Biden explained that he was in Connecticut to attend his grandson’s graduation. Robert Hunter Biden II graduated from Salisbury School in Salisbury, Connecticut, on Friday, and his family—including the former POTUS and his wife Dr. Jill Biden—gathered to celebrate in what was the 82-year-old’s first public appearance since news of his cancer broke. Biden’s cancer diagnosis was first announced by his office last Sunday before Biden acknowledged it himself in a post to social media on Monday, writing, “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
