President Joe Biden will release his new memoir, 'Promise Me, America,' on November 17. The book will cover his presidency and decisions, with its release timed after the midterm elections.
The memoir's release shortly after the midterm elections could influence Democratic party discussions about Biden's legacy and future political aspirations.
President Joe Biden is set to release a new memoir titled 'Promise Me, America' on November 17, according to publisher Little, Brown and Company. The book aims to address national challenges, his presidential decisions, and his belief in the American promise. The timing of the release, just two weeks after the November midterm elections, could be a point of concern for Democrats, who are divided on Biden's legacy and his decision to seek a second term.
Biden, who will turn 84 three days after the book's publication, has previously released memoirs such as 'Promise Me, Dad' in 2017, which focused on the death of his son Beau Biden, and 'Promises to Keep' in 2008. The upcoming book comes amid a general decline in nonfiction sales and a challenging market for political books. Little, Brown and Company has not disclosed financial terms for the deal, though presidential memoirs typically secure seven-figure advances. Biden has indicated plans for a book tour and interviews to support the release.
