ALEX THOMPSON: The Book About Biden - An Unfinished Chapter

08/27/24 • 32 min

Back in 2021, reporter Alex Thompson signed a deal with Simon & Schuster to write a book about President Biden, which was expected to be published ahead of the election in November.

Not busy enough, he was also a journalist covering the White House for Axios - and one of the few reporting on the growing concerns about the president's age and ability, particularly when it came to a possible second term.

But then, back in March - and long before the infamous June debate - Simon & Schuster announced the book deal was off.

While his research is yet to be published, I spoke with Alex about this extraordinary chapter in his career.
