'You can fight this and win [John Lewis] like you have fought so many times before. Thinking of you and your family,' 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang tweeted.
Former President Bill Clinton and freshman Congresswoman Ilhan Omar were among the many public figures that offered their support to civil rights icon and Democratic Congressman John Lewis, after his office announced on Sunday that he was being treated for stage four pancreatic cancer.
"While I am clear-eyed about the prognosis, doctors have told me that recent medical advances have made this type of cancer treatable in many cases, that treatment options are no longer as debilitating as they once were, and that I have a fighting chance," he said in a statement. Though he admits he'll likely miss a few votes in the coming month, he expressed optimism that"with God's grace, I will be back on the front lines soon."
