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
seals 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 for the first time. Here,
two of America’s best-respected political journalists take us behind
closed doors to reveal the extent of Biden’s decline and who knew about
it, from White House staffers to senators to Hollywood celebrities.
They paint President Biden’s decision to run for re-election as
shockingly narcissistic, delusional and reckless – and the wider
cover-up as an act of unprecedented public deception. Rarely has hubris
met nemesis so explosively.
The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability
and responsibility that will endure for decades. In the name of
defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy, Biden
and his inner circle ensured it, marking the beginning of a remarkable
campaign of denial and gaslighting against the American public. His
decision to run again was the original sin of his presidency – the
moment that led directly to Donald Trump’s return to power and all that
has come since.
