Jill Biden vows to 'set the record straight' in upcoming memoir about Biden presidency, 2024 exit

Her memoir, "View from the East Wing: A Memoir," will be published June 2.

"It was kind of cathartic for me to write it, and I wrote about all the, you know, sometimes painful - but other times, most of it really beautiful moments that Joe and I shared during his presidency," she told the AP.

She added, "Parts of this story have been told, but not all of it."

"I have put things in perspective," the former first lady told the AP. She said the book offers a "more balanced view" of her husband's time in office.

The former first couple spoke to "The View" in May 2025.

"They are wrong," Joe Biden said of those who questioned his health. "There's nothing to sustain that, number one." 

"Number two, you know, think of what we left with" he continued. "We left with a circumstance where we had an insurrection when I started, not since the Civil War. We had a circumstance where we were in a position that we - well, the pandemic, because of the incompetence of the last outfit, end up over a million people dying, a million people dying. And we're also in a situation where we found ourselves unable to deal with a lot of just basic issues, which I won't go into in the interest of time."

Jill Biden targeted books detailing her husband's health issues, saying that "the people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us. And they didn't see how hard Joe worked every single day. I mean, he'd get up. He'd put in a full day, and then at night he would - I'd be in bed, you know, reading my book, and he was still on the phone, reading his briefings. Working with staff. I mean, it was nonstop."
