Jill Biden opens up in memoir about Joe Biden's decision to end his 2024 reelection bid

Jill Biden's memoir offers a candid view of Joe Biden's 2024 withdrawal amid Democratic pressure and public concern over his age and health, revealing behind-the-scenes White House life.

  • Former First Lady Jill Biden announced Wednesday that Gallery Books will publish her memoir, "View from the East Wing," on June 2, 2026, aiming to "set the record straight" about her White House years.
  • Biden intends to break her silence on her husband's abrupt withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, having previously declined to discuss the three-week stretch when former President Joe Biden ended his political career.
  • During her tenure, the 74-year-old made history as the first First Lady to continue her career, teaching English twice a week at a Northern Virginia community college while the book details her experiences from Camp David to Air Force One.
  • Reflections on the presidency include serving during a unique era marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol, which shaped her experiences and offer context for the memoir.
  • Ironically, the title references the White House East Wing, which President Donald Trump demolished last year to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, as the release arrives while Joe Biden continues treatment for prostate cancer.
