Joe Biden Announces Memoir and Faces Legal Ruling on Recordings

Biden's legacy efforts face legal and public challenges.

Event Overview

Former President Joe Biden announced his memoir, 'Promise Me, America,' scheduled for release on November 17, which covers his presidency and decision to end his 2024 campaign. Simultaneously, a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 against Biden's attempt to block the release of 2016-2017 interviews with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. These recordings were obtained by Special Counsel Robert Hur during an investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents. The memoir has drawn criticism from some Democrats and mockery from late-night host Jimmy Fallon.
