- Biden asserts that Trump's actions on January 6 “should follow him to his grave” and challenges Trump supporters who claim to support law enforcement while ignoring violence against officers.
- The memoir excerpt reveals Biden’s account of a post-2024 election meeting with Trump, describing Trump’s tone as “bordering on fawning” and focusing more on personal gossip than serious global issues.
- White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis responded by calling Biden “the worst president in American history,” criticizing his handling of border security, crime, and inflation.
- Biden announced he will limit public discussions about his book due to his ongoing battle with cancer; the memoir, titled "Promise Me, America," is scheduled for release on November 17.
