Have you ever wondered what presidents do after they retire from their post. For former President Joe Biden, it is to sign a contract with Creative Artists Agency, one of the biggest in Los Angeles that is known for representing A-list Hollywood stars.
Joe Biden previously also had a contract with CAA from 2017 to 2020.In her statement, Richard Lovett, the co-chair of CAA expressed what a privilege it was to partner with Former President Joe Biden again.
“His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honored to partner with him again.”
Biden’s kept a low profile after exiting the White House
After losing the Presidential election, Biden has been very secretive and quiet about what his plans for the future were. But upon leaving the White House in January, he assured supporters, “We’re leaving office, we’re not leaving the fight.”
While we do not know what he is planning with this partnership with CAA, but we do know that Biden's previous collaboration with CAA resulted in a 2017 memoir Promise me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose. The book, which detailed the loss of his son, Beau Biden, became a New York Times bestseller and inspired his American Promise book tour—a, a move widely seen as a precursor to his 2020 presidential campaign.
When Donald Trump was asked in an interview if he knew that his predecessor has signed with a Hollywood talent agency, he shook his head in disbelief
"You've got to be kidding me!"
But Trump later added that he wished Biden well, before continuing his interview on other topics.
For now, Biden is keeping a low profile and spending time at his Delaware home. He also recently became a great-grandfather following the birth of his granddaughter Naomi’s son.
CAA’s working with mostly singers but also political figures
Although primarily known for representing A class actors and musicians like Brad Pitt and Ariana Grande, CAA also has a long history of working with political figures and social advocacy groups.
CAA has previously partnered with former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama to create the Oscar-winning documentary American factory.
Additionally, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed with CAA to represent her book projects, including Hard Choices, which chronicled her tenure as America’s top diplomat.
As Biden steps into this new phase of his career, his collaboration with CAA could signal future projects in publishing, public speaking, or even media production. However, for now, his next move remains to be seen.
