Former president Joe Biden announced Wednesday that his memoir will be published Nov. 17, two weeks after the midterm elections, setting up a potentially awkward reckoning for a Democratic Party that would prefer to keep voters focused on President Donald Trump, the economy and the future rather than reopen bitter divisions over 2024.<\/p>\n

The book, \u201cPromise Me, America,\u201d echoes the title of Biden\u2019s 2017 memoir, \u201cPromise Me, Dad,\u201d which centered on the death of his elder son. Its release is likely to generate a wave of interviews, public appearances and stories drawn from advance excerpts or leaked passages, as publishers and authors typically seek to build interest around presidential memoirs.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Biden\u2019s postpresidential office did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.<\/p>\n

Biden said the book<\/a> will examine challenges ranging from the economy to the political turmoil surrounding his unsuccessful effort to seek a second term.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about why I chose to run for reelection \u2014 and why I chose to step aside,\u201d he said.<\/p>

The memoir will give Biden another opportunity to shape the historical assessment of a presidency that began amid the coronavirus pandemic and the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, but ended under intense scrutiny of his age, health and decision to pursue reelection.<\/p>\n

Biden was diagnosed in May 2025 with an aggressive, hormone-sensitive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. In Wednesday\u2019s announcement video, he said he\u2019s \u201cbeen getting treatment, and it\u2019s been going really well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prominent Democrats close to Biden have already offered sharply different accounts of the tumultuous end to the 2024 election. In her memoir, former first lady Jill Biden portrays her husband\u2019s withdrawal from the race as a painful decision made under mounting pressure from fellow Democrats. Afterward, she recalled, he told her: \u201cJilly, I had no choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former vice president Kamala Harris was more critical in her book, \u201c107 Days,\u201d arguing that Biden\u2019s decision to seek reelection should never have been treated as a purely personal choice. She described the party\u2019s deference to Biden and his family as \u201crecklessness,\u201d writing that the stakes were too high to leave the decision to one person.<\/p>\n
