Joe Biden said he is “feeling great.”
The former president commented on his condition during a seconds-long exchange with a journalist in what were his first public, in-person comments since announcing he’s been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
News 8’s Mike Cerulli asked Biden how he felt as the former POTUS walked into the commercial terminal at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, on Friday.
Biden had just attended the high school graduation of his grandson, Robert Hunter Biden II, from Salisbury School in Salisbury, Connecticut.
“Mr. President, how are you feeling sir? How are you feeling, sir?” asked Cerulli.
“I’m feeling great,” Biden replied. “I like Connecticut.”
Then someone off-camera was heard asking Biden, “How you doing, Joe?”
“I’m feeling fine, man,” Biden replied.
Biden announced last Sunday that he had prostate cancer, which had spread to the bone, per a statement.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” Biden’s office said. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
The following day, Biden and former first lady Jill Biden shared a photo of themselves on social media which was captioned: “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.”

Accusations have grown in recent weeks that the Biden White House covered up his cognitive decline during his presidency.
Those concerns have been further spotlighted by the new book “Original Sin” by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson.
