Details
President Joe Biden says he's writing a book. The White House has confirmed to Axios that the book will be an opportunity for Biden to try to shape the narrative around his presidency and the tumultuous weeks leading up to his historic 2024 withdrawal from the race.
Context
There have been numerous reports about Biden's fateful decision to run again in 2024 and eventually step down after a disastrous debate with President-elect Trump, most of them unflattering to the 82-year-old president.
Biden's own version of these events is hardly recorded, except for his contradictory claims that he could have defeated Trump.
If the book project comes to fruition, it will be a chance for Biden to fully articulate his views on what he has achieved and why he managed the 2024 cycle the way he did.
NBC News first reported that Biden was planning to write a book. A White House spokesman confirmed the plans but did not provide further details.
Recall
U.S. President Joe Biden will not impose a ban on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect the day before he leaves office on Monday, leaving its fate in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump, AP reported Thursday, citing a U.S. official.
