Prayers for Victor Davis Hanson as Famed Conservative Historian to Undergo Major Medical Surgery on Tuesday (VIDEO)
Conservative historian and commentator Victor Davis Hanson will undergo a major medical intervention on Tuesday.
Hanson shared he was dealing with the undisclosed medical issue on the Friday episode of his podcast, Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words. The longtime commentator said he is having a procedure on Tuesday.
“I’m having a major operation, and I’ve been presented with a serious problem, but I’m going to do all I can to solve it.”
”And that’s all I can do and trust in the power of prayer and faith — and in a wonderful surgeon,” he continued.
“I finally ended up going to the best medical center that I know, Stanford Med, and the people there have been.”
The famed historian added that he had previously been reluctant to discuss his illness in public and the“nine-month odyssey” he has been on.
“The problem I had for a nonsmoker and nondrinker was a rare type and very hard to diagnose, so it’s no one’s fault other than my own, perhaps for not realizing why I was not getting well.”

Many prominent conservatives have taken to X to wish him a successful surgery.

Victor Davis Hanson is a gifted intellectual. He distills complex concepts into basic terms that are easily understood. He is an advocate for biblical morality and individual liberty. An American patriot. A friend of Israel. He is ailing. Pray for him.https://t.co/QDIbDGCh0a
