Joe Biden to release tell-all book about his 2024 bid — and autopen jabs keep coming
Former President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that he will release a tell-all book, "Promise Me, America," on November 17. The memoir, which comes on the heels of his wife Jill's book, is set to delve into the challenges the nation faces, the decisions Biden made as president, and his faith in the promise of America.
Biden, 83, said in a video message that the book will touch on key moments of his presidency, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the aftermath of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, and his support for war-torn Ukraine. The former president's decision to write about these events has sparked debate among Democrats, who argue that his legacy is still a topic of discussion.
The controversy surrounding Biden's legacy has been ongoing since his departure from the White House. Some Democrats have argued that his decision to run for reelection paved the way for President Trump's return to power. The fact that Biden's book will explore these moments has added fuel to the fire, with many questioning whether he actually wrote the book himself. "Did the autopen write this too?" House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) jabbed on social media. "Nope. You had someone else write it for you and then you had your name put on it," Oversight Project honcho Mike Howell responded.
Biden's use of an autopen, a mechanical signature device, during his presidency has been a subject of ridicule. Trump famously framed a picture of the autopen in place of Biden on the wall of presidential portraits at the White House. The jokes have not stopped, with many netizens questioning whether the autopen was involved in the writing process. "Are we really supposed to believe this guy wrote a whole book?" influencer Caleb Hull swiped on social media.
The release of Biden's book has also been met with skepticism due to the timing. The memoir is set to hit bookshelves just three days after Biden's 84th birthday. The former president has been keeping a low profile since his departure from the White House, although he did announce that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which had metastasized to his bones. Biden's health has been a subject of concern, and the release of his book has added to the speculation.
The release of "Promise Me, America" on November 17 will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion in the days and weeks to come. As the 2024 presidential election looms, the controversy surrounding Biden's legacy and his use of an autopen will only continue to grow.
