In both 1996 and 2000, Forbes campaigned for the Republican presidential nomination.

The author of several books, Forbes co-authored “Reviving America: How Repealing Obamacare, Replacing the Tax Code and Reforming the Fed will Restore Hope and Prosperity” with Elizabeth Ames (McGraw-Hill Professional), which was published in December 2015. He is the only writer to win the prestigious Crystal Owl Award four times.

In 1985, President Reagan named Forbes Chairman of the bipartisan Board for International Broadcasting (BIB). He was reappointed to this post by President George H. W. Bush and served until 1993.
