“President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs,” CAA co-chairman Richard Lovett said in a statement. "His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honoured to partner with him again.”

Thanks to his post-presidency deal with CAA, Biden is now labelmates with Squid Game star Lee Jung Jae. Creative Artists Agency also represents Squid Game director Hwang Dong Hyuk, Parasite director Bong Joon Ho and South Korean actor Kang Dong Won alongside Hollywood A-listers like Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep, and even Japanese baseball star Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers).

Joe Biden's history with CAA

The Democrat leader goes way back with the powerhouse banner, as he previously published his book “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose" during his initial term as CAA's client from 2017 to 2020 after leaving the vice president post.

Through the “American Promise” tour, the politician continued promoting the book across the country, which apparently paved the way for his successful 2020 White House run. Biden's novel explored his eldest son Beau's battle with cancer and his subsequent death.

In addition to joining hands with the Delaware politician in his post-presidential era, Creative Artists Agency's client roster even boasts Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions. Other left-leaning politicians on board include John Manchin, Susan Rice and Beto O'Rourker, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Biden's post-presidency chapter yet to be revealed

It's unclear whether Joe Biden is set to release a new book or if he's ready to embark on a different project altogether. After more than five decades of public service, the former president told his supporters last month, “We're leaving office, we're not leaving the fight.”

The ex-POTUS hasn't shied away from the small screen, either. Biden has famously appeared in TV shows like Parks and Recreation and Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego.
