## Summary

Joe Biden says advancing prostate cancer will limit his promotion of his White House memoir, *Promise Me America*, due out on 17 November. The former president hopes the book will speak for itself; it recounts his one-term presidency and criticises Donald Trump’s conduct around the 6 January Capitol attack and after his return to office.

Diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025, Biden said some days are better than others and that his condition sometimes slows him down. The memoir also covers the Covid-19 pandemic, economic challenges and efforts to restore alliances, as well as Biden’s view that Trump dismantled parts of his legacy. Biden and his wife, Jill, thanked people for their support.
