"Promise Me, America" will be the former president’s third book.
Former President Joe Biden announced in a video message on Wednesday that he has written a book which is set to be released after the November midterm elections.
The book is titled "Promise Me, America" and is out on Nov. 17.
Biden said the book is about the decisions he made as president and touches on response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the economy, "restoring our democracy" after Jan. 6, and conflicts in Afghanistan and Ukraine. It will also discuss why he chose to run for re-election and his decision to step aside.
"Most of all, it's about my faith in the promise of America. The promise we made to those that have come before us and to honor their sacrifice," Biden said.
The book's release, which will come two weeks after the midterms, could pull attention back to the former president just as Democrats hope to keep it fixed on President Donald Trump's record, with promotional efforts risking distraction.
The former president said since he's left office, he's been spending time with his family and getting treatment for his prostate cancer, which he says has been going "really well."
In the summer of 2024, Biden dropped his presidential bid after a widely criticized debate performance that prompted questions about his mental fitness. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who has detailed her run for office in a memoir, "107 Days," said that it was "recklessness" to allow Biden to make the decision alone on running for re-election.
Former first lady Jill Biden wrote in her memoir "View from the East Wing," releases last month, that she was concerned her husband might have been drugged ahead of his debate performance.
Joe Biden's two earlier books include "Promises to Keep" and "Promise Me, Dad," a memoir on his older son Beau who died of brain cancer.
