Joe Biden will publish his memoirs on November 17, after the midterm elections.

Former US President Joe Biden A memoir titled "Promise Me, America" ​​will be released on November 17, a few days after the midterm elections. The book will revisit her decisions in the White House, including her withdrawal from the reelection race, and her battle with cancer.

The publisher, Little, Brown and Company, confirmed the news to the Associated Press. In a video address accompanying the announcement, Biden himself presented the project: “Promise Me, America is about the challenges we have faced as a nation. It tells the story of the decisions I made and why I made them. But most of all, it's about my faith in the promise of America.”

The book will be released three days before Biden's 84th birthday. It will cover topics as varied as the American economy and the former president's decision to end his re-election campaign, a move that continues to divide the Democratic Party.

The title directly echoes "Promise Me, Dad," Biden's 2017 memoir recounting the death of his son Beau. The former president also authored "Promises to Keep," a campaign book published in 2008, the year Barack Obama ultimately snatched the Democratic nomination from him before choosing him as his running mate.

Biden used the announcement to address his health. "I've been diagnosed with cancer, I'm undergoing treatment, and it's going very well," he said, thanking those who had offered their support. "It meant a lot to Jill and to me."

A spokesperson for the publisher confirmed that Biden plans a promotional tour including interviews. Financial details of the contract were not disclosed, but US presidents typically negotiate advances of at least seven figures. The publication follows a tradition that dates back to Harry Truman in the 1950s.

The commercial context remains challenging, however: non-fiction sales are down this year and few political books are finding an audience. Among the rare recent successes are "Communion," by Vice President JD Vance, and "Regime Change," an account of the inner workings of President Trump's second term.
