New books chart Biden’s downfall – and the picture is damning for Democrats

Books detail president increasingly unfit to take on Trump, and party infighting that doomed Kamala Harris's chances

Joe Biden plans to write a book about his presidency which ended in his historic withdrawal from the 2024 election, pushed out by senior Democrats convinced he was too old and infirm and replaced by his vice-president, Kamala Harris.

Sources close to Biden told news outlets the book could be published next year, by which time Biden will be 83 and doubtless - like other US presidents' autobiographies - it will be a self-serving narrative lauding his time in office.
