Biden Fires Back After New Poll Reveals Americans Still Prefer Obama Over Trump

Biden’s fiery remarks come just months after he publicly shared details of his recent health challenges. In May, his office confirmed that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, which had spread to the bone.

According to his team, doctors discovered the illness after he began experiencing persistent urinary symptoms. He underwent a round of radiation therapy earlier this year.

Following his treatment, Biden spoke openly about the experience — praising medical professionals and calling for continued investment in health care and research.

“I thank God for the doctors, the nurses, and the breakthroughs we’re making in cancer research,” he said at the time. “But now, Trump and his allies are cutting health care funding, making it more expensive for nearly everyone.”

Even while facing serious health challenges, Biden has remained outspoken about issues that defined his presidency — especially protecting democratic institutions, supporting health care access, and maintaining America’s alliances abroad.

Still Speaking Out

Biden’s latest comments underline that his political instincts — and his drive to push back against Trump — remain strong. Though no longer in office, he continues to make public appearances supporting Democratic causes and speaking about the importance of civic engagement, accountability, and empathy in leadership.

At the Omaha gala, as the applause died down, Biden ended his remarks on a hopeful note: “The soul of this country has been tested before. It’s our job to make sure it never stops fighting.”

For supporters, his words were a reminder of the passion that once helped him win the presidency. For critics, they were a sign that the nation’s political debates — and rivalries — are far from over.

Either way, the poll’s message was clear: years after leaving the White House, Barack Obama still commands admiration from most Americans, while Donald Trump’s image remains as polarizing as ever. And Joe Biden, it seems, isn’t done weighing in on what that means for the country he once led.
