Biden defends his 2024 run and reckons with Trump in new memoir
Biden says he had no regrets about seeking a second term and argues his record outweighed concerns about his age and debate performance.
- Former President Joe Biden released a memoir on Tuesday providing an unapologetic defense of his White House tenure, boasting of legislative successes including the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan response to the pandemic.
- Biden writes that passing the American Rescue Plan required navigating Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who became a key swing vote in an evenly split Senate and initially held out on the bill.
- Reflecting on his 2024 campaign, Biden praises Kamala Harris as a "first-rate candidate" despite her primary challenges, and explains his reluctance to debate Donald Trump, citing Trump's tendency "to lying with abandon, bullying the moderators, violating the rules."
- Defending the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden calls the loss of 13 service members "devastating," while writing that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's return to power at the end of 2022 complicated efforts to protect Israel.
- Biden makes no apologies for seeking a second term, noting the primaries sent no warning signs of weakness; his memoir serves as an account of his fate as a one-term president tied to Kamala Harris's campaign.
