Former President Joe Biden will publish a memoir this fall, titled ‘Promise Me, America’, which will touch upon everything from the economy to his decision to drop his bid for reelection. The book is scheduled to come out on November 17, two weeks after the midterm elections.
Biden’s Book Announcement
Biden said in a video statement accompanying the announcement, ‘Promise Me, America’ is about the challenges we faced as a nation. It’s about the decisions I made and why I made them. Most of all, it’s about my faith in the promise of America.
The book’s title echoes a 2017 memoir by Biden, ‘Promise Me, Dad’, which centered on the death of his son, Beau Biden. Biden, who will turn 84 three days after the publication of ‘Promise Me, America’, has long presented himself as an upholder of standards and traditions; presidential memoirs are one of them.
Biden’s term was defined by a wide range of conflicts and achievements, from his handling of wars in Ukraine and the Middle East to the passage of ambitious infrastructure and economic aid bills. Many readers will likely want to know more about his health while president, including the disastrous debate in June 2024 against Trump that led to his giving up his reelection bid.
