Biden Signs With Talent Agency Two Weeks After Leaving Office

Well, that didn’t take long. Joe Biden was barely out of the White House for two weeks before he did what every washed-up politician with a dwindling relevance does—he signed with a Hollywood talent agency. Because, of course, nothing says public servant quite like cozying up with the same people who represent A-list celebrities, social media influencers, and late-night talk show hosts.

Biden’s new (or should we say, old) home is Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the same firm that represents Barack and Michelle Obama. If this feels like déjà vu, it’s because Biden was with CAA before—between 2017 and 2020—when he was trying to cash in on his vice presidency with a book tour. That little stint brought America Promise Me, Dad, his memoir about his late son Beau, which was accompanied by a national speaking tour that—surprise, surprise—was not free. This time around, expect more of the same: book deals, paid speeches, and, if we’re really lucky, maybe even a Netflix special where Biden attempts to read a teleprompter for an hour without losing his train of thought.

CAA, of course, made the usual glowing announcement, with co-chairman Richard Lovett calling Biden “one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs.” Sure. This is the same Joe Biden who oversaw record inflation, botched foreign policy disasters, and an approval rating that tanked so badly even CNN couldn’t spin it. But Hollywood has never been one to let facts get in the way of a good narrative.

Naturally, when President Trump was asked about Biden’s latest career move, his reaction was priceless. “You’ve got to be kidding,” he said, shaking his head. “He signed with a talent agency?” Trump, of course, has bigger things to focus on—like cleaning up the disaster Biden left behind—but still managed to deliver a classic one-liner: “I think he’s got much bigger problems than that, but I wish him well.”

And that’s the real story here. While Biden is busy trying to book his next paid appearance at some cushy D.C. insider event, Trump is in the Oval Office fixing the mess he inherited. In just a few weeks, the new administration has already started cutting wasteful spending, reversing disastrous policies, and putting America back on the path to economic stability. Meanwhile, Biden is preparing for a life of book deals, media puff pieces, and staged public appearances where he doesn’t have to answer tough questions.

Of course, this all fits perfectly with the Democrats’ post-presidency playbook. Obama did it first—he left the White House, inked a multi-million-dollar Netflix deal, wrote a couple of books, and is still trotted out to give lectures about “democracy” while vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard. Now it’s Biden’s turn to cash in. And let’s be honest, this might actually be a better fit for him than the presidency ever was. At least this way, when he struggles to finish a sentence, it’ll be someone else’s job to edit it out.

But the funniest part of all this? The sheer absurdity of pretending Biden is some kind of cultural icon that Americans are dying to hear from. CAA can spin it however they like, but the truth is, Joe Biden isn’t exactly a box-office draw. Nobody is lining up for a speaking tour to hear a retired politician mutter about “corn pop” or how “we choose truth over facts.” His presidency was barely watchable—why would anyone pay to see the sequel?


Biden’s signing with CAA just confirms what everyone already suspected: his presidency was never about leadership—it was about setting up his post-White House cash grab. And if that means doing speaking tours and media appearances instead of pretending to run the country, well, America dodged a bullet.
