Following unverified social media posts, rumors have circulated claiming that Joe Biden was hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. These claims emerged shortly after speculation about Donald Trump's health, fueled by MAGA-linked influencers. Videos purportedly showing Biden's hospitalization have been debunked; one was edited from footage of a UK ambulance. Despite the rumors, no credible news organizations have confirmed Biden's hospitalization, and his family has remained silent on the matter. Biden's health has been under scrutiny, especially after his diagnosis of an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025. Concerns regarding his age and health have previously influenced his decision to withdraw from the 2026 re-election race.
