Original sin : President Biden's decline, its cover-up, and his disastrous choice to run again

Tapper, Jake2025
Books, Manuscripts
An explosive account of one of the most hubristic mistakes in American political history: Joe Biden's decision to run for reelection despite mounting evidence of his decline, and his team's increasingly desperate efforts to hide it. In Greek tragedy, the protagonist's effort to avoid his fate is what seas his fate. In 2024, American politics became a Greek tragedy. Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump term. He, his family and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again that they lied to themselves, allies and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debate with Trump on 28 June 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed - all but dooming the Democrats to defeat later that year. Now the full, unsettling truth is being told here.
