How did Donald Trump—America's most polarizing political figure and the first U.S. president to be convicted of a felony—stage one of the most improbable comebacks in modern history? In 2024, journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf deliver a gripping inside account of the election that shocked the nation and reshaped the future of American democracy.
This chapter-by-chapter summary distills the book's revelations about how Trump overcame multiple indictments, assassination attempts, and fierce Republican challengers to reclaim the White House. At the same time, it examines the Democrats' unraveling: from Joe Biden's decision to run despite mounting concerns about age and polling, to his eventual withdrawal after a disastrous debate performance, and Kamala Harris's historically short campaign that failed to gain momentum.
With unparalleled access to the Trump, Biden, and Harris camps, the authors show how both parties waged their most consequential battle yet—one that culminated in Trump's return to power, more emboldened and uncompromising than ever.
Whether you're a political observer, student of history, or simply trying to understand how America reached this turning point, this summary provides the essential takeaways from one of the most important political books of our time.
