Former President Joe Biden is set to receive a $10 million deal for a memoir that aims to cover his years in the White House, but critics question his ability to contribute meaningfully to the book.
With doubts already circulating about his cognitive condition, the announcement has raised concerns about whether the final product will reflect Biden’s own words or those of long-time aides.
Some argue that Biden’s close advisors, including Ron Klain, Susan Rice, and Anthony Bernal, were the real decision-makers during his term.
These individuals have reportedly avoided direct answers when questioned by Congress about Biden’s mental state while in office.
Now, it is believed they may be involved in shaping the narrative of this upcoming publication.
The concern isn’t just about authorship. Many believe this memoir is not just another book but a way to secure one last financial gain after a lengthy political career.
Critics say it may serve more as a defense of the Biden presidency by his team than an accurate account of events.
The timing of the book deal follows recent public appearances that have drawn attention to Biden’s struggles during interviews.
Meanwhile, his son Hunter Biden, in a recent podcast appearance, reacted strongly to political figures who have distanced themselves from the former president, using strong language and expressing clear frustration.
While memoirs by former presidents are common and often involve ghostwriters, Biden’s critics say this case is different.
They believe the book will attempt to rewrite history and distract from what they see as policy failures during his time in office, including economic struggles and foreign policy challenges.
Whether the memoir provides new insight or simply protects political allies, many are skeptical about its authenticity and purpose.
