Sen. Michael Bennet arrives for the votes in the Senate to keep the government open on Feb. 14, 2019. By Allyson Chiu Allyson Chiu Reporter Email Bio Follow April 4 at 12:33 AM Ahead of the launch of an anticipated White House bid, Sen. Michael F. Bennet announced Wednesday that he has prostate cancer and will undergo surgery later this month.
“The work we have in front of us to restore a politics that is worthy of our kids and grandkids has never been more important,” he said in the statement. “This unanticipated hurdle only reinforces how strongly I feel about contributing to the larger conversation about the future of our country ...” In February, Bennet hinted at the possibility of pursuing the presidency during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“Then the question became: Is this still something I wanted to do?” Bennet said of his potential presidential bid. “I could answer the question in two ways. Maybe this would be a good time to give it up and go do something else. And the other was whether I could continue to run. I found myself hoping that I could run. That’s what the doctors have said. That’s what John Kerry and others learned.”
That’s horrible.
Fighting any cancer is devastating on ones health...I think he needs wait it out until he’s healed...stress is so bad for cancer patients, even those that are recovering cancer patients.
I’m so sorry to hear that. He’s such a nice person
Partisan politics aside, I hope he can shake the cancer. That really sucks.
