Navigating Post-Presidency: Biden's Challenges

For more than five decades, Joe Biden led an incredibly public existence. But now, in his post presidency, he’s entered a quieter, lonelier stage of life. He’s staffed by only one or two aides and Secret Service, holed up for hours at a time in Delaware working on his memoir with a new ghostwriter and racing against an aggressive form of prostate cancer while undergoing treatment. Most Democrats would prefer he keep a low profile. But what does Biden want? As he reenters the news cycle — both with a speech tonight to the National Bar Association in Chicago and as his former aides go before an adversarial House Oversight Committee — can he avoid being a millstone for the party he once led? Playbook’s Adam Wren and Dasha Burns walk through the implications of this moment and all the rest of the news you need to know today.
