Joe Biden has signed with Creative Artists Agency for representation as he begins his post-presidential era.
President Biden is one of Americas most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs, said Richard Lovett, co-Chairman of CAA. His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honored to partner with him again.
The Century City-based mega agency already reps his White House predecessor, Barack and Michelle Obamas Higher Ground Productions. And the move for the Delaware politician marks a homecoming for Biden and the agency, which had repped him during his post-vice presidential wilderness years from 2017 through his 2020 presidential victory over Donald Trump. Biden formally oversaw the transition of power on Jan. 20 and hasnt yet unveiled typical post-presidential moves like a book deal or speaking gigs. Days earlier he gave a farewell TV interview to Lawrence ODonnell at MSNBC in the Oval Office that highlighted his concern about the state of democracy stateside. I really am concerned about how fragile democracy is. That sounds corny, he said. But I mean, I really, really am concerned, because youve heard me say it 100 times, I really think were in an inflection point in history here.
The Democratic party, however, is focused on determining their identity without Biden or vice president Kamala Harris as its standard bearers. On Feb. 1, the Democratic National Committee picked Minnesotan Ken Martinas its next chair to lead the party as Trump takes power.
More to come.
