Jake Tapper

£10.99

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. Four years later, at his debate with Trump on the 28th of 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 here.
