THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In 2024 award-winning reporters Josh Dawsey Tyler
Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf bring us the definitive inside story of the most tumultuous and
consequential presidential campaign in our history. "A well-paced thorough and often (darkly)
humorous account of the two-year campaign season that began when Donald Trump announced he was
running for president again . . . Plenty of thrilling fly-on-the-wall moments." — The New York
Times “The whole world was against me and I won ” said Donald Trump in an exclusive
interview ten days before his second inauguration. Nearly four years after Trump’s first
turbulent presidency concluded in a violent attempt to overturn the election he made a
political comeback on a scale that stunned the nation. How did the first U.S. president to
become a convicted felon regain control of the White House? And at what cost? 2024 is the
explosive account of how Trump and his advisers overcame a dozen primary challengers four
indictments two assassination attempts and his own past mistakes to defeat the Democrats and
pave the way for a second term that would be far more aggressive and ruthless than the first.
Drawing on extraordinary access to the Trump Biden and Harris teams 2024 takes readers
beyond the speeches rallies and debates to reveal the innermost workings of the Republican
and Democratic presidential campaigns. Beginning in August 2022 with the FBI’s search of
Mar-a-Lago for classified documents and Trump’s subsequent decision to run once again for
president Dawsey Pager and Arnsdorf chart how Trump stifled the rise of Republican opponents
including Ron DeSantis and how his campaign led by Susie Wiles landed on a winning strategy.
They reveal in unrivaled detail how Joe Biden and his team brushed off concerns about his age

Biden was dealing with his own special counsel investigation and the trial of his son Hunter.

Kamala Harris as the candidate and tasked her with running the shortest presidential campaign
in modern U.S. history. With only 107 days to distinguish herself from the past four years
Harris lacked the time or space to outrun Biden’s shadow—a challenge in and of itself but one
which Biden would make even more difficult. On November 5th 2024 Trump was elected the
nation’s forty-seventh president and would return to power vindicated emboldened
unrestrained and burning for revenge. Gripping revelatory and deeply reported 2024 is the
shocking inside story of the election that tested American democracy and would go on to shape
the future of the free world.
