Joe Biden Signs with Los Angeles Talent Agency, Signaling New Chapter in Post-Presidency Career
Former U.S. President Joe Biden has taken a significant step in shaping his post-presidency career by signing with the Los Angeles-based talent agency, Creative Artists Agency (CAA). This move marks a reunion with CAA, which previously represented Biden from 2017 to 2020, during which he published his bestselling memoir, Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose.
A New Chapter for Biden
At 82, Biden has remained relatively quiet about his plans following his five-decade career in public service. However, his signing with CAA suggests a potential for new projects, including books, speaking engagements, or media ventures. Richard Lovett, co-chair of CAA, praised Biden in a statement, calling him “one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs.” Lovett added, “His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honored to partner with him again.”
CAA has a history of working with high-profile political figures, including former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, whose production company, Higher Ground, has produced award-winning films and documentaries, such as the Oscar-winning American Factory. Similarly, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton partnered with CAA for her book projects, including Hard Choices, which detailed her tenure as America’s top diplomat.
Biden’s Previous Work with CAA
During his previous partnership with CAA, Biden released his memoir, Promise Me, Dad, which chronicled the loss of his eldest son, Beau, to brain cancer. The book became a New York Times number one bestseller and inspired his American Promise book tour, widely seen as a precursor to his 2020 presidential campaign. While there is no confirmation of a new book or project yet, Biden’s return to CAA hints at potential future endeavors.
Life After the White House
Since leaving the White House in January, Biden has maintained a relatively low profile, spending time at his Delaware home and staying in touch with former aides and associates. He also recently celebrated the birth of his great-grandson, adding a new chapter to his personal life. Despite stepping away from the presidency, Biden has reassured supporters that he remains committed to public service, stating, “We’re leaving office, we’re not leaving the fight.”
CAA’s Broader Influence
While CAA is best known for representing Hollywood’s biggest stars, the agency has increasingly worked with politicians, activists, and advocacy groups. Its ability to amplify voices across various platforms makes it a natural fit for Biden as he explores new ways to engage with the public. The agency’s expertise in media, publishing, and production could provide Biden with opportunities to continue shaping national and global conversations.
What’s Next for Biden?
Though details of Biden’s plans remain under wraps, his partnership with CAA signals a strategic move to leverage his influence and experience in new ways. Whether through books, documentaries, or public speaking, Biden’s post-presidency career is poised to build on his legacy of unity and optimism.
As the world watches, Biden’s next steps could further cement his role as a leading voice in American and global affairs, even outside the Oval Office. For now, his signing with CAA marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the former president.
