Former President Joe Biden, sounding shockingly old just 18 months after leaving office, says he’s publishing a book about his time in office after the November midterms. Titles “Promise Me, America,” Biden says the book is “about my time as president,” “why I chose to run for reelection and why I chose to step aside.”

JOE BIDEN: Since I left the presidency, I’ve had a lot of people ask me, Joe, what have you been doing? I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family. I’ve been dealing with a cancer diagnosis, and I’ve been getting treatment, and it’s been going really well. I want to thank all those who offered their prayers, their support, and well wishes. It’s meant the world to me and to Jill. I’ve written a book about my time as president. It’s called Promise Me, America. It’s coming out in November, and it’s available for preorder now. It’s about the challenges we face as a nation and 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 war in Afghanistan; strengthening NATO; and supporting Ukraine. It’s about why I chose to run for reelection and why I chose to step aside. Most of all, it’s about my faith in the promise of America: the promise we made to those who have gone before us to honor their sacrifice; the promises we made to one another to treat everyone with dignity and respect; and the promise we made to future generations of Americans to remain the beacon to the world. Promise Me, America is about my faith in America and the American people. I hope you’ll read it, and I hope it strengthens your faith in what we can do as a nation and a people.
