The Bidens have the opportunity to make big bucks with a tell-all book about the White House experience, but only if former first lady Jill Biden is willing to shell out the secrets.
A joint book could land the couple $30 million, a source told Daily Mail, because Mrs. Biden is worth $15 million on her own accord.
Mrs. Biden allegedly kept a journal during former President Joseph R. Biden’s, four years in the White House.
A White House aide told the outlet she is poised to write “a very explosive book” if she wants.
While Mrs. Biden is a fierce protector of her husband, she’s also not the type to go after people, a former Biden aide said.
“She’s his grudge-holder for sure, and there are definitely plenty of people she will never talk to again, but it’s unlike her to take public swings at specific individuals or lay blame. It’s just not her style. That’s what is going to sell books, though,” the former aide said.
The Biden’s haven’t been outspoken since leaving the White House. Mr. Biden has given one speech and one interview to the BBC. The couple is set to appear Thursday on ABC-TV’s “The View.”
In both his speech and BBC interview, Mr. Biden tore into President Trump, criticizing him for taking a “hatchet to the Social Security Administration, pushing an additional 7,000 employees — 7,000 — out the door in that time.”
“These guys are willing to hurt the middle class and working class in order to deliver significantly greater wealth to their already wealthy friends. Who in the hell do they think they are?” Mr. Biden said.
In the BBC interview, Mr. Biden criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the country’s allies and its handling of the Ukraine-Russia war.
“What the hell’s going on here? What president ever talks like that? That’s not who we are,” Mr. Biden said. “We’re about freedom, democracy, opportunity, not about confiscation.”
Mr. Biden said he doesn’t see the strategy in allowing “a dictator, a thug, to decide he’s going to take significant portions of land that aren’t his, that that’s going to satisfy him,” referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I don’t quite understand,” he said.
