Democrats Successfully Bully Joe Biden Into Changing Plans For His Tell-All Book
Former President Joe Biden teased his long-awaited memoir on Wednesday, now set to hit shelves after the midterm elections. The delayed release comes after Democrats raised concerns that publishing the book before Election Day could hurt the party at the ballot box.

“Promise Me, America” is scheduled for release on Nov. 17. Biden, who has fallen out of favor with many Democrats after Trump’s triumphant return to the White House, previously suggested the book would be released before the November election.
A website promoting the tell-all promises a “candid and revealing” account of the “deeply agonizing calculation” behind Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
“Since I left the presidency, I’ve had a lot of people ask me, ‘Joe, what have you been doing?’” Biden said in the announcement while sitting in a chair. “I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family. I’m dealing with a cancer diagnosis, and I’ve been getting treatment. It’s been going really well.”
In the two-minute trailer, the former president said the memoir will chronicle the highs and lows of his presidency, which included decades-high inflation, record illegal border crossings, and new wars erupting in Europe and the Middle East.
“It’s about the challenges we faced as a nation, about the decisions I made, and why I made them. Leading the country through COVID, rebuilding our economy, and restoring our democracy after the attack on January 6th, ending our nation’s longest-running war in Afghanistan, strengthening NATO, and supporting Ukraine.”
Conservative critics quickly mocked the book on social media, with some questioning whether Biden, 83, actually wrote it himself.
“I can’t believe the autopen wrote a whole book,” said Ben Shapiro, The Daily Wire Editor Emeritus, a sentiment echoed by reality TV star Spencer Pratt.
“This guy couldn’t even sign his own name. He’s not writing books. LMAO,” Pratt said. “Politicians write books to launder money. Nobody wants to read this, but the corrupt NGOs he provided for as President will buy up 100K copies and burn ’em to hold up their end of the bribes.
In June, Biden teased that the book was set for a September release date, a move that would’ve injected the former president into the political spotlight.
Despite the delay, Biden’s memoir is expected to arrive not long after former first lady Jill Biden’s book, which included revelations that angered parts of the Democratic establishment. In recent interviews promoting her memoir, Jill Biden said she was frightened by her husband’s June 2024 debate performance against President Donald Trump, recalling that she feared he may have been experiencing a medical emergency.
“I was frightened,” Jill Biden said of the debate. “I had never, ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never. I don’t know what happened. As I watched it, I said, ‘Oh my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”
Those comments came more than a year after Biden disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer that had spread to his bones, a diagnosis that fueled renewed scrutiny over his health and questions about the transparency surrounding his condition while in office.
“The biggest lesson for us, I think, was that if you don’t explain something well enough, then the question won’t go away,” Jill Biden wrote in her memoir. “There was never a satisfying enough explanation offered for Joe’s debate performance, and a lot of people never got over it.”
