Sasse, who is 53 and voted to impeach Trump, says he has ‘metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer’
Ben Sasse announced on Tuesday that he has terminal stage-four pancreatic cancer. The former Republican senator revealed his diagnosis in a post on X, calling it a “death sentence”.
“Friends — This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die,” he wrote.
Sasse, 53, represented Nebraska in the US Senate from 2015 to 2023. In 2021, he was among seven Republicans to vote for impeaching Donald Trump after the January 6 Capitol riot.
