In 2024, American politics became a Greek tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJoe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46389731000556,"sku":"9781529155495","price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781529155495.jpg?v=1745291603"},{"product_id":"original-sin-by-jake-tapper-9781804958490","title":"Original Sin","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest politics book of the year from two of America's most respected journalists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExplosive\u003c\/em\u003e Guardian\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eExplosive\u003c\/em\u003e The Times\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eExplosive\u003c\/em\u003e Daily Mail\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eExplosive\u003c\/em\u003e Politico\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eExplosive\u003c\/em\u003e New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJoe Biden, his family, and his senior aides were convinced that only he could beat Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election.
