The joint book deal is contingent on Jill, whom experts say could be worth $15 million on her own, according to the report. However, Jill would likely be required to reveal details surrounding her husband\u2019s declining mental health, as well as his disastrous debate against President Donald Trump and his decision to leave the 2024 race \u2014 which could be a \u201choldup,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n
The report notes that while Jill is Biden\u2019s \u201cbiggest defender\u201d and a book of her own would better allow her to shape her family\u2019s narrative, she would likely \u201cbe grilled about reports she covered up his decline,\u201d and \u201cany publisher would want all the behind-the-scenes details, particularly for a seven-figure deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another way the Bidens could snag a book deal is by Jill going \u201cscorched earth on those high-profile Democrats who turned their backs on Biden,\u201d the report continues. The list of people who privately and publicly told Biden to step aside includes Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and George Clooney. Jill Biden also allegedly has a grudge against former Vice President and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s his grudge-holder for sure, and there are definitely plenty of people she will never talk to again, but it\u2019s unlike her to take public swings at specific individuals or lay blame. It\u2019s just not her style. That\u2019s what is going to sell books, though,\u201d a former Biden aide told the outlet.<\/p>\n
Money is allegedly a huge factor in the family\u2019s decision, as their son Hunter Biden is around $15 million in debt from legal fees for several federal cases, along with art sales drying up and a floundering memoir, sources told the outlet.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the financial state that her son is in and the lack of interest in paid speaking engagements for both of them, they could be forced to think twice about how personal and specific they get in their books,\u201d a former aide told the outlet.<\/p>\n
Biden\u2019s post-presidency office did not respond to the outlet\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
