Promise Me, America

The story of President Joe Biden’s groundbreaking four years in the White House: his campaign, his presidency, his decision to run again—and to withdraw

In his candid and revealing memoir, Joe Biden reflects on his time as president: the challenges, triumphs, sorrows, and accomplishments that marked his administration amid one of the most tumultuous eras in American history.

And for the first time, he reveals the deeply agonizing calculation behind his decision in the summer of 2024 to step aside from the presidential race and to put his party and the nation before his personal ambitions.

Moving, historic, and filled with the unyielding optimism that has defined Joe Biden’s fifty years of public service, Promise Me, America is a powerful testament to resilience, to the power of personal relationships in service of political progress, and to a leader who put country above all else.
