An award-winning political journalist for The Atlantic tells the inside story of how the embattled Democratic Party, seeking a direction for its future during the Trump years, successfully regained the White House.
The 2020 presidential campaign was a defining moment for America. As Donald Trump and his nativist populism cowed the Republican Party into submission, many Democrats haunted by Hillary Clinton s shocking loss in 2016 and the resulting four-year-long identity crisis were convinced that he would be unbeatable. Their party and the country, it seemed, might never recover.
How, then, did Democrats manage to win the presidency, especially after the longest primary race with the biggest field ever? How did they keep themselves united through an internal struggle between newly empowered progressives and establishment forces playing out against a pandemic, an economic crisis, and a new racial reckoning?
Edward-Isaac Dovere s Battle for the Soul is the searing, fly-on-the-wall account of the Democrats journey through recalibration and rebirth. Dovere traces this process: from the early days in the wilderness of the post-Obama era to the jockeying of potential candidates; from the backroom battles and exhausting campaigns to the unlikely triumph of the man few expected to win; and on through the inauguration and the insurrection at the Capitol.
Dovere draws on years of on-the-ground reporting and contemporaneous conversations with the key players whether with Pete Buttigieg in his hotel suite in Des Moines an hour before he won the Iowa caucuses or with Joe Biden in his first-ever interview in the Oval Office as well as with aides, advisors, and voters. Offering unparalleled access and an insider s command of the campaign, Battle for the Soul takes a compelling look at the policies, politics, and people, as well as the often absurd process of running for president. This fresh and timely story brings you on the trail, intothe private rooms, and along to eavesdrop on critical conversations. You will never see campaigns or this turning point in our history the same way again.
