Betrayal

How Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans Abandoned America

Beschreibung

Acclaimed when it originally appeared for its gripping portrait of the catastrophic failure of Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans to stop Donald Trump's assault on our democracy, the updated edition carries the story forward into the Biden's presidency and efforts to restore bipartisanship in bitterly contentious times.
