 Joe Biden ‘having trouble booking gigs’ with $300K per speech asking price

WASHINGTON — It’s not just Biden family artwork that’s struggling to sell these days.

Former President Joe Biden’s attempt to bill $300,000 per speaking appearance is finding few takers, The Post has learned — as some of his own former aides say it’s time for the 82-year-old to leave the spotlight for good after reminiscing about “colored kids” Tuesday in his first public address since leaving office.

A source familiar with Biden’s faltering speaking career said that the 46th president’s standard pitch is $300,000 — 25% below Barack Obama’s $400,000 asking price upon leaving office in 2017.

It’s unclear how negotiable Biden’s rate is.

If travel is required, a private jet and expenses for five staffers also is expected for Biden, who has been repped since early February by the Creative Artists Agency.

  1. What’s next, two shows daily on the casino circuit? Jill could play the slots during the speeches, then lead him to the buffet.

    No, Joe’s marketability is shot. He’s on the formerly somebody tour.
