  "account": "Former U.S. President Joe Biden describes in his memoir how Donald Trump, his predecessor and successor, has profoundly harmed the nation and world with an administration intent on dismantling institutions and promoting hatred. The 83-year-old Democrat asserts that Trump's lies about losing the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 Capitol attack should haunt him until his death. Biden's memoir, \"Promise Me, America,\" debuts on November 17, with the 46th president's health limiting his activities promoting the book. In the excerpt, Biden recounts a 2020 Oval Office meeting with Trump, in which Trump expressed relief at not having to run against him again. Biden worries Trump's actions on January 6, 2021, would be forgotten if he were to die. Biden also criticizes Trump's Department of Government Efficiency and the reversal of many of his policies, particularly those related to climate change. The memoir's release follows Democrats' significant victory in the midterm elections, securing broad House and Senate majorities and flipping control of several statehouses.",
  "summary": "The first excerpt of \"Promise Me, America\" was published Monday by The Atlantic. The full memoir is set for a Nov. 17 release.",
