The memoir is also expected to provide answers about Biden's health and the high-profile debate against Donald Trump in 2024, which led to his dropping out.

“Promise Me, America” is set to be released on November 17, two weeks after the US midterm elections. The timing of the release could be sensitive for Democrats, who want to focus on the election campaign against Donald Trump. Many within the party are also divided over Biden’s legacy.
