Biden’s Return to CAA
Former President Joe Biden, 82, has once again joined forces with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), a powerhouse in the entertainment industry. This move comes as Biden transitions into his post-presidential life, potentially signaling a shift towards new media ventures. CAA, known for representing A-list celebrities and athletes, will handle Biden’s publishing and speaking engagements, echoing their previous successful partnership.
During his earlier association with CAA from 2017 to 2020, Biden saw a significant increase in his income following his vice presidency. The agency played a crucial role in the release and promotion of his memoir “Promise Me, Dad,” which included a nationwide tour that sold over 85,000 tickets. This prior success likely influenced Biden’s decision to reunite with the agency.

CAA’s client list reads like a who’s who of Hollywood and sports, featuring luminaries such as Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, and baseball sensation Shohei Ohtani. By aligning himself with such high-profile talent, Biden positions himself for potential crossover opportunities in the entertainment world. This move mirrors the path taken by other former political figures, most notably Barack and Michelle Obama, who have made significant inroads in Hollywood through their production company, Higher Ground Productions, also represented by CAA.
“President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs,” Richard Lovett, co-chairman of CAA, said.
While specific plans for Biden’s post-presidency life remain undisclosed, his partnership with CAA indicates a desire to maintain a public presence. The President has emphasized his ongoing commitment to political engagement, stating, “We’re leaving office, we’re not leaving the fight.” This sentiment suggests that Biden intends to leverage his new platform to continue influencing political discourse, albeit through different channels than those available during his presidency.
“We’re leaving office, we’re not leaving the fight,” Joe Biden said.
Maybe we can expect more Hollywood cringe designed to target Trump and Republicans. Maybe some more books. Or maybe Biden will get an Obama-style Netflix deal.
But do you think anyone will watch?
