BIDEN INC.: Biden's sister to keep cashing in on brother's career with new memoir, following family tradition
Biden's family members have often cashed in on his political career
By Cameron Cawthorne , Peter Hasson | Fox News
President Biden’s younger sister will kick off her book tour Thursday night in Washington, D.C., ahead of the release of her memoir next week, which could create a headache for the White House as she continues to cash in on her brother’s political career, conflicting with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s statement last January about the White House's ethics policy.
"It's the White House's policy that the President's name should not be used in connection with any commercial activities to suggest or in any way – in any way they could reasonably be understood to imply his endorsement or support," Psaki said.
Valerie Biden Owens, a longtime campaign adviser and political confidante to Biden, will be releasing her memoir titled, "Growing Up Biden: A Memoir" next Tuesday. The book includes a childhood photo of her, Joe Biden, their two brothers, and their mother on the book cover. Not only did Owens serve as Biden’s campaign manager for all seven of his successful Senate campaigns, but she also advised Biden during all three presidential campaigns and has played an integral role in his family’s life.
The upcoming book tour and expected media blitz of Owens' memoir about growing up as a Biden comes a little over a year after the transition team's lawyers told Vice President-elect Harris's niece she could no longer produce clothing or write any new books with Harris's name or likeness, the Los Angeles Times reported in early 2021.
