President Biden’s Head Gash at Delaware Church Raises Questions

REHOBOTH BEACH, DELAWARE – For­mer Pres­i­dent Joe Biden sparked a new wave of health con­cerns after he was spot­ted leav­ing a Delaware church over Labor Day week­end with a vis­i­ble red gash across his head.

The 82-year-old, appear­ing some­what frail, greet­ed sup­port­ers out­side the church when cam­eras cap­tured the wound, par­tial­ly con­cealed by his white hair. The footage, filmed by polit­i­cal con­sul­tant Fred Karg­er and lat­er shared online, quick­ly spread across social media and fueled spec­u­la­tion about Biden’s con­di­tion.

Karg­er told Inside Edi­tion: “I was a lit­tle sur­prised because it’s a notice­able scar. It looks fresh, with a lit­tle hair combed over it. To me, it looked like some­one who had sev­er­al basal cell skin can­cers removed from his head.”

A Biden spokesper­son lat­er con­firmed that the for­mer pres­i­dent had recent­ly under­gone Mohs surgery, a spe­cial­ized pro­ce­dure used to remove skin can­cer cells lay­er by lay­er until only healthy tis­sue remains. While the state­ment did not clar­i­fy the exact tim­ing of the oper­a­tion, the appear­ance of the wound sug­gest­ed it was recent.

Reac­tions online were divid­ed. Sup­port­ers flood­ed the com­ments with well wish­es:

“Kind, decent per­son. God bless him,” one user wrote. “We miss you, Pres­i­dent Biden. Stay strong and keep the faith,” anoth­er added. A third com­ment­ed: “God bless you, Pres­i­dent Biden! I miss the good night’s sleep I got when you were Com­man­der in Chief.”

How­ev­er, crit­ics seized the moment to ques­tion his health and fit­ness:

“Bare­ly a year ago they were still try­ing to claim this man was of sound mind,” one com­ment read. Anoth­er wrote: “Why is no one talk­ing about the gash on his head? Sad, but I doubt it’s can­cer. Con­ve­nient tim­ing though, with all the oth­er scan­dals mak­ing head­lines.”

This is not Biden’s first health scare. In Feb­ru­ary 2023, doc­tors removed a can­cer­ous lesion from his chest, lat­er iden­ti­fied as basal cell car­ci­no­ma. And ear­li­er this year, he was diag­nosed with Stage 4 prostate can­cer after doc­tors found a small nod­ule and can­cer cells that had spread to his bones—raising ques­tions about why the dis­ease wasn’t detect­ed ear­li­er dur­ing White House check­ups.
