The book is written by the CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios correspondent Alex Thompson and tackles what exactly led to the Democratic party’s 2024 defeat, with a spotlight on Biden’s decision to run for re-election and subsequent drop-out in favor of his vice-president, Kamala Harris – who ultimately lost to Donald Trump.
“What you will learn makes President Biden’s decision to run for re-election seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless – a desperate bet that went bust – and part of a larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents,” it goes on to say.
A new book announced on Wednesday aims to tell a behind-the-scenes story about Joe Biden’s bid for a second term, promising to reveal a top-level cover-up about his decline in health, its publisher said.
The book, titled Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, will be released on 20 May.
“Toni Morrison once said, ‘If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it,’” Tapper said in a statement to CNN Business.
