Joe Biden to Publish Presidential Memoir

Former President Joe Biden will release his presidential memoir, titled Promise Me, America, on November 17, 2025. Publisher Little, Brown and Company confirmed the release date, which falls two weeks after the midterm elections, marking a significant addition to the tradition of post-presidential literary accounts.

The memoir is expected to address key aspects of the Biden administration, including economic policy, international conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the circumstances surrounding his decision to withdraw from the 2024 re-election campaign. The publication follows intense public and political scrutiny regarding his health and the internal communications surrounding his June 2024 debate performance.

The timing of the release presents a potential complication for Democratic party leaders, who have sought to maintain focus on current political agendas rather than past internal party divisions. While financial terms remain undisclosed, the book is expected to follow the industry standard for presidential memoirs, which typically command seven-figure advances. Biden, who recently disclosed a prostate cancer diagnosis, plans to conduct a promotional tour and media interviews to support the book's launch.
