Publisher DROPS Biden Book Due To Lack Of Market Interest

We all know Biden is having a book published about him.

It was a central component of his mishandled documents case, where he was deemed too feeble to be tried.

But according to a recent report, “was having a book published” may be a more fitting way to describe the situation.

Simon & Schuster, the publishing company that was backing the book, has pulled back their commitment to publish the book, citing a “soft market” for books about Biden.

The Post Millennial reported:

Publisher Simon and Schuster has terminated its contract with Alex Thompson, Axios’ national political correspondent, for a book centered on President Joe Biden’s administration, signaling a challenging market for Biden-related literature.

The writer for Biden’s book, Alex Thompson, confirmed the report on social media.

it’s true.
But still writing it and aiming for 2025 to tell the story of the Biden presidency.

How could such a popular political figure not have market interest in his book?

But 81 million votes.🙄

Some think that the book could use a fresh writer.

They should have Hillary Clinton write it and call it It Takes A Village To Raise An Idiot!

We’ll have to wait and see if the book ever gets released, or if a prolonged lack of interest keeps it from ever hitting the shelves.

The Blaze had more on Biden’s book deal:

In February 2021, Politico announced that Alex Thompson — then a reporter with Politico who has since joined Axios as “a National Political Correspondent” — had signed a contract with Simon & Schuster to pen “a comprehensive book on Biden’s presidency.” The book was expected to provide “fresh reporting” from a journalist with a firsthand look at “the White House transition.”

In that announcement, Politico claimed that the book would likely be released “in early 2024” — just in time for campaign season.

Now that “early 2024” has come and nearly gone, Politico has announced that the deal is off. According to the outlet, Simon & Schuster has “withdrawn” the contract with Thompson, further signaling a “soft market for books about President Joe Biden.” A spokesperson for the publisher declined Politico’s request for comment.

Thompson confirmed on X that the deal with Simon & Schuster is now defunct but noted that he is “still writing” the promised book. “If you’re a publisher and interested, email/number in bio,” he added.
