Biden defends his 2024 run and reckons with Trump in new memoir
Biden says he had no regrets about seeking a second term and blames the media and party elites for the fallout from his debate performance.
- In his new memoir, "Promise Me, America," set for release on Tuesday, President Joe Biden defends his 2024 reelection bid and record, insisting he could still perform the duties of the presidency.
- Biden disputes the narrative surrounding his debate performance, claiming media and party elites shaped the perception of his failures rather than his own onstage incoherence, noting coverage of calling Harris "Vice President Trump" overshadowed his accomplishments.
- Justifying his candidacy by citing the threat of Donald Trump, Biden writes, "I was the only person who had ever beaten Donald Trump," while rejecting claims that his age prevented him from performing his job.
- The book reveals Biden's lingering frustration with fellow Democrats, specifically Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, for what he terms treacherous behavior, even as his party swept Congress in the midterm elections.
- Biden expresses no regrets regarding his handling of foreign crises in Ukraine and Gaza, describing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response to the October 7, 2023, massacre as "overwhelming," though his book promotion will likely be limited by his prostate cancer battle.
