For Democrats, Joe Biden’s razor-thin election over Donald Trump in 2020 was both a relief and a warning. Facing existential danger from the Republicans, Democrats hung together. But how long can the uneasy peace hold? The Truce tells the riveting story of how the progressive insurgency remade the Democratic Party and how the party establishment pushed back. It’s a tale of backroom maneuvering and political strategy that asks big questions about the future of the party. With never-before-told stories from crucial campaigns, exclusive interviews with key leaders, and analysis of the party in the White House and Congress, The Truce explores the major fault lines of Democratic politics today: the economy vs. culture, youth vs. experience, pragmatism vs. progressivism. And it describes the creeping generational and political tensions that will erupt the moment Biden leaves the White House, whether in 2024, 2028, or at some unexpected moment in between.
