Former President Joe Biden isn’t slowing down just yet, despite leaving the White House. The 82-year-old ex-commander-in-chief has inked a deal with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the high-profile Hollywood talent agency that also represents past President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama.

In an announcement on Monday, CAA lauded Biden as one of the “most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs.” The agency highlighted Biden’s previous association with them before assuming the presidency in 2021. “His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honored to partner with him again,” remarked Richard Lovett, CAA’s co-chairman.

Talent agencies typically maintain discretion when promoting their political clients. However, a prominent figure like Biden would likely be presented for speaking engagements and book deals.

Biden exited the Oval Office with approval ratings hovering near record lows, with one poll pegging his popularity at the end of his single term at a mere 36 percent.

CAA’s top brass rank among the staunchest supporters of Democratic politicians in the entertainment industry.

The agency retains its status as a Hollywood powerhouse, representing numerous A-list celebrities like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, and George Clooney, among others.
