Donald Trump might be absorbing all the political oxygen right now, but his successor and predecessor isn’t ready to totally exit the stage.
Joe Biden has signed with Creative Artists Agency in all areas, the agency said Monday.
“President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs,” Richard Lovett, co-chairman of CAA, said today of the agency’s former and now present client. “His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honored to partner with him again.”
Biden had been with CAA from 2017-2020, after leaving Washington, D.C. and his role as Vice Presidency and before being elected as the 46th President of the United States. During that time, Biden published his memoir Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose about the death of his eldest son Beau. The book, published in November 2017, was a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and evolved into the big-draw American Promise tour, a prelude in the eyes of many to Biden’s successful 2020 run for the White House.
With it being just two weeks since he left office, there’s no indication Biden has a new book or project in the hopper. On the other hand, it’s doubtful the 82-year-old Democrat would return to CAA if he doesn’t something up his sleeve. While keeping a low-ish profile, Biden has been seen out and about around his Delaware home and is staying in touch with ex-aides and others, I hear.
Exiting the nation’s capital last month after more than 50 years of public service, Biden told supporters: “We’re leaving office, we’re not leaving the fight.”
Biden’s old boss and buddy Barack Obama is also represented by CAA through he and former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground production company.
