Biden’s Speaking Tour Canceled Over Trump Concerns
Joe Biden’s schedule of post-presidential paid speaking engagements — some with fees of up to $300,000 — has largely unraveled. According to The Daily Beast, all but five of the planned events were canceled.Institutions reportedly pulled out due to fears of backlash or political retaliation from President Donald Trump, who has blamed Biden for many of the nation’s problems.
The cancellations underscore how charged the domestic political climate remains — even for former presidents. While Trump exerts dominance in the public sphere, Biden faces unexpected roadblocks as he struggles to stay relevant.
- Biden has attended a handful of events since leaving the White House, including:
- A speech in Chicago with the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled (Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled).
- A presentation at the National High School Model United Nations.
- Keynote addresses at the National Bar Association Gala and the Society of Human Resource Management Convention.
- An unpaid event at the Harvard Institute of Politics. [americanlibertynews]
