Former President Joe Biden was seen at Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Monday, attending the Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers matchup at Citizens Bank Park. The event marked a rare public appearance for Biden, who has been recovering from recent medical procedures.
Biden, 82, recently underwent surgery to remove cancerous skin cells, according to his spokesperson. The procedure, known as Mohs surgery, involves the removal of layers of tissue until all cancerous cells are eliminated. Details about the timing of the surgery remain unclear, though Biden was photographed with a visible head incision in late September.
The former president and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, are longtime Phillies fans. Attendees at the game captured photos of Biden in his private box, sharing them on social media. This appearance follows previous health-related updates, including the removal of a basal cell carcinoma lesion from Biden’s chest during a 2023 routine exam.
Biden’s public engagement comes as he continues to navigate his recovery while maintaining a presence at high-profile events.
