Former President Joe Biden will guest on ABC’s The View next week, in his first interview since leaving the White House.
He will be joined by his wife, former First Lady Jill Biden, the show announced.
“We will ask about his legacy, accomplishments, regrets and of course, the current political landscape,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said.
The interview will take place on May 8.
Their sit down will take place in advance of the publication of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new book, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. Some of Biden’s allies have pushed back on the book’s premise, which likely will get a major media focus as the authors promote it.
But Biden also will have a chance to rebut some of Donald Trump’s attacks. The current president has tried to blame the stock market declines and negative economic growth on Biden.
The former president gave his first major speech since leaving office last month, and also attended the recent funeral of Pope Francis.
