In a move that reeks of political calculation, former President Joe Biden is set to unleash his presidential memoir this fall, timed perfectly to hit shelves just two weeks after the November midterms.
Little, Brown and Company, the publisher behind the project, confirmed the details to the Associated Press.
Reports indicate the 83-year-old Biden pocketed a staggering $10 million advance for what amounts to a victory lap on his rocky four years in the Oval Office.
The book, titled Promise Me, America, will land on store shelves November 17.
According to Breitbart News, it centers squarely on Biden’s time steering the nation as POTUS.
“‘Promise Me, America’ is about the challenges we faced as a nation. It’s about the decisions I made and why I made them,” Biden stated in a recent video.
“Most of all, it’s about my faith in the promise of America.”
This title cleverly nods back to Biden’s 2017 book Promise Me, Dad. That book focused on the tragic passing of the former president’s son, Beau Biden.
Now, the sequel shifts focus from personal grief to a sweeping defense of his presidential record.
For right-leaning Americans who lived through skyrocketing inflation, chaotic border policies, and endless foreign entanglements, this memoir feels less like honest reckoning and more like an expensive rewrite of history.
Little, Brown and Company promises a national tour to promote the volume.
Biden himself will hit the road, sitting for interviews.
Expect carefully staged events that paint his administration in the rosiest light possible.
Yet the record stands on its own. From record illegal crossings at the southern border to the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden’s decisions left many Americans questioning the direction of their country.
His memoir will likely gloss over these hard truths in favor of lofty rhetoric.
