President Biden visited Bob Dole at his private home in Washington, DC, on Saturday after the former Kansas senator and 1996 Republican presidential nominee announced Thursday that he has stage 4 lung cancer.

The White House said in a statement that Biden was visiting"his close friend." Biden and Dole served in the Senate together for decades."While I certainly have some hurdles ahead, I also know that I join millions of Americans who face significant health challenges of their own," Dole said.

Previously, he served in the House, representing a large district that encompassed the western half of the state. He was also then-GOP nominee Gerald Ford’s running mate in the 1976 election, which they lost.

If Trump: 'Trump skips work to visit old man, why not doing his job is dangerous for the country.'

They are old friends and respect each other

I think Dole would have been a great president. Sorry he lost In 1996.

What a thoughtful gesture🙏🙏

adamboultonSKY He is a class act.

Awesome

21WFMJ Why hasn’t he visited the people freezing to death in Texas yet? Why hasn’t he resealed the kids in cages yet? He could have sent a card and did something that actually needs done.

plethora_pinata It's called class.

That’s what grown ups do!

The last of a generation we owe so much. 🙏🇺🇸 I wish him peace. Bob Dole was hit by Nazi machine gun fire, shattering his shoulder and needed 9 surgeries to even use his hand again.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

A man who practices his faith and the lessons of his confirmation in that faith. Including humility. I'm grateful to have a President, again.

What a nice president, it feels good to feel presidential ambience again in this land of America.

Imagine reaching out to someone who voted for your opponent.

Of course he did 😍

Compare this act of humanity with the former guy’s refusal to honor civil rights icon John Lewis as he laid in state

Emolclause Oh no. I’m so sorry to hear this.
