THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe damning inside story of Joe
Biden's decline while in office - and the desperate attempts of his inner circle to hide it
from the American people. 'Explosive' Guardian'Explosive' The Times'Explosive' Daily
Mail'Explosive' Politico'Explosive' New York TimesJoe Biden his family and his senior aides
were convinced that only he could beat Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. So
convinced in fact that that they embarked upon a remarkable campaign of denial and
gaslighting against the American public - lying to themselves allies the media and voters
about his true condition. Only now is the full unsettling truth coming to light. Here two of
America's best-respected political journalists take us behind closed doors to reveal the extent
of Biden's decline and who knew about it from White House staffers to senators to Hollywood
celebrities. They paint President Biden's decision to run for re-election as shockingly
narcissistic delusional and reckless - and the wider cover-up as an act of unprecedented
public deception. The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and
responsibility that will endure for decades. In the name of defeating what they called an
existential threat to democracy Biden and his inner circle all but ensured it denying the
existence of health issues the nation had been watching for years. His decision to run again
was the original sin of his presidency - the moment that led directly to Donald Trump's return
to power and all that has come since. 'How American voters became victims of one of the great
political cover-ups of modern times . . . It was the gaslighting of a nation.' The Times'A
