Former President Joe Biden and Jill Biden are considering a $30 million book deal that may include insights from Jill’s diary during their time in the White House, according to reports.
“She could produce a very revealing book if she decided to,” a former White House aide mentioned.
The report indicates that any joint book projects would revolve around Jill’s perspective. She might delve into sensitive topics like her husband’s mental health and the tumultuous debates involving President Donald Trump as well as his exit from the 2024 race. This could potentially delay the deal.
Furthermore, Jill is portrayed as Biden’s strongest supporter, and her narrative could significantly influence their family’s story. However, there’s a concern that she might face backlash for allegedly hiding his decline, especially since publishers often expect full transparency in major deals.
There’s also the possibility of exploring the dynamics between Jill and prominent Democrats who have distanced themselves from Biden, including Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and George Clooney. Jill reportedly holds grievances against her husband’s former vice president, Kamala Harris, too.
“She definitely bears the weight of his struggles and has lost connections with some individuals, but she tends to handle her public image differently. Ultimately, this could be about selling a book,” the aide commented.
Additionally, Hunter Biden faces around $15 million in legal bills due to various federal cases, and financial pressures appear to influence family choices amidst declining interest in his paid speaking engagements.
“Considering her son’s situation and the current lack of interest in engagements, they might need to reconsider how to approach the book personally and specifically,” the former aide noted.
Biden’s post-presidency office has not commented on these developments.
