The book explores the often-misunderstood relationship between Joe Biden and Barack Obama, revealing that while they were friends, their political relationship was complex and fluctuated wildly over two decades. It highlights their differing views on policy and change, and shows that their bond was more of a political partnership than a bromance.
The public perception of this relationship is that it's a bromance. That's what people have called it for a long time.
The reality here is that they are friends, which is unusual, but it's a political relationship before anything else.
Obama said to Biden, 'I need you to just promise me that this is the capstone of your career. That's the only way this is going to work.'
Biden's response was, 'Oh, not the tombstone.'
At this point, they're sort of talking every few weeks or so, but it's very informal. Unlike any other call that Biden has except for a family member, no one else is on the call when he does these calls.
