A gripping, intricately plotted political thriller set on the campaign trail of the USA's nextand because of crucial flaws in the electoral systemits last election; from former presidential candidate Andrew Yang and author Stephen Marche

In former presidential candidate Yang's first novel, doomsday looms for American democracy in the months leading up to the 2024 election . . . zinging broadsides make for lively and unsettling reading. Kirkus Reviews

The Last Election is a unique political thriller about an outlandish yet frighteningly possibleeven probablescenario in America's near future, during the crucial 2024 presidential election. Though it is fiction, it is informed by Andrew Yang's insider's view from his run deep into the Democratic primaries in 2020. It is also a wake-up call to an America tearing itself apart.

The story focuses on two characters: Mikey Ricci, a political operative who has lost faith in the system, and Martha Kass, a journalist for the New York Times. In 2023, Ricci becomes the campaign manager of a third-party candidate who runs on a popular, centrist platform and whose frank and honest manner begins to gain ground. As it begins to appear that Ricci's candidate might win enough electoral votes to upset the delicate balance of America's two-party system, Kass stumbles upon a plot by the current Joint Chiefs of Staff to seize power in the anticipated chaos of the coming election.

Events unfold at the frenetic pace of the campaign trail, and as the electoral totals are tallied, it becomes more and more evident that no one will accrue the coveted majority of 270 electoral votes. If this happens, who wins? Will the electoral system collapse? What is Congress's role in certification, and how will congressional leaders behave with their unprecedented individual power?

Will the American experiment end?

Autorenporträt
ANDREW YANG is the cofounder of the Forward Party, a new independent political movement dedicated to restoring the promise of American democracy. He was a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 whose campaign outlasted over a dozen mainstream political officeholders and raised $40 million from hundreds of thousands of everyday Americans, dubbed "the Yang Gang." His New York Times best-selling book The War on Normal People helped introduce the idea of universal basic income into the political mainstream, and his most recent book, Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy, became a national bestseller. Named by President Obama as a Presidential Ambassador of Global Entrepreneurship, he is the founder of Humanity Forward and Venture for America. He lives with his family in New York. The Last Election is his most recent work.
