Former President Joe Biden isn’t packing up his saddle and riding off into the sunset just yet. At the age of 82, the ex-leader has decided that his next chapter will be penned with a Hollywood mega-talent agency, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), known for its knack for turning washed-up politicians into glamorous public speakers or, at the very least, memoir writers. This agency has also thrown its weight behind other big names such as former President Barack Obama and the ever-relevant Michelle Obama.
The announcement of Biden’s comeback was made by CAA, which, unsurprisingly, branded him as one of the “most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs.” It seems conciliatory language is part of the package deal when representing a former president whose approval ratings are roughly on par with a rock at the bottom of a lake. Prior to his presidential escapades, Biden was already a client of CAA. Apparently, even before Biden played the nation’s grandpa, he was still someone they could profit from.

If one thought Biden’s tenure was lackluster, wait for the movie adaptations and speaking events that are sure to follow. Those who run CAA are eager to drum up some lucrative gigs for the aging ex-POTUS, despite leaving office with an approval rating that even a cat would be ashamed to claim—36 percent, according to one poll. It’s hard to say what speaks more about Biden: that he is “respected” or that his approval ratings are so dreadfully low that he might just be begging for sympathy in the Hollywood spotlight.
True to Hollywood’s fashion, CAA’s executives are staunch supporters of Democratic politicians, ensuring that Biden is snuggled tightly within the warm embrace of leftist elites. Meanwhile, their roster reads like a laundry list of glamorous faces, from Tom Cruise to Meryl Streep. It suffices to say that should he ever need a makeover for his public image, he has quite the array of multimillionaires to call upon for assistance. Seems fitting, as he might need a bit of gloss to distract from his record in office.
So, what’s next for the man who has seen better days? Expect a whirlwind of speaking engagements that will undoubtedly lean into the narrative of unity and optimism—mostly crafted by a team of writers, since we all know how adept Biden is with the English language, especially when off-script. And while he may think he’s just a six-decade veteran of public service, the reality is that he may need to squeeze a few more “inspirational” books and shows about his “journey” out of an industry that thrives on nostalgia for a past that’s slowly fading. It’s a strange world where the underwhelming reigns supreme, and in Hollywood, nostalgia is the ticket to fame—for Biden, it’s just another day at the office.
