## About Biden

[edit]

Books about Biden during his presidential campaign and presidency have been significantly fewer in number than those related to his predecessor, Donald Trump. Journalists have noted that sales for books about Biden have been low, attributing this to disinterest from the public, Biden's desire to reduce the drama of the White House and his staff's lack of propensity to leak.[1][2]
