Original Sin — Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson
$42.00
#1 New York Times Bestseller · “Superbly Reported . . . Reads Like a Shakespearean Drama on Steroids.” — Los Angeles Times
From two of America’s most respected political journalists comes a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at one of the most consequential decisions in modern U.S. history: Joe Biden’s run for reelection despite growing evidence of cognitive decline. Original Sin pulls back the curtain on how the White House, campaign aides, and Democratic insiders convinced themselves — and the public — that he alone could defeat Donald Trump again.
Drawing on unprecedented access to Washington’s power circles, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson deliver a story of hubris, loyalty, and denial — a political Greek tragedy unfolding in real time. Essential reading no matter where you stand on the spectrum.
