0:00 / 0:38

Biden’s new memoir, "Promise Me, America," released Nov. 17, slams former President Donald Trump for granting sweeping pardons and clemency to Jan. 6 defendants on his first day back in office. He says the act should never be forgotten and should follow Trump to his grave. Biden also denounces Trump for not holding a formal ceremony honoring the officers who defended the Capitol. In a nearly two‑hour Oval Office meeting in November 2024, Biden describes Trump’s tone as "bordered on fawning," noting the former president’s friendly remarks and focus on personalities rather than global issues. Trump’s 2024 victory over Kamala Harris followed Biden’s withdrawal from the race in July 2024.
