Frankly, We Did Win This Election The Inside Story of How Trump Lost by Michael C. Bender

Author: Michael C. Bender

Michael C. Bender, senior White House reporter for the Wall Street Journal, presents a deeply reported account of the 2020 presidential campaign that details how Donald J. Trump became the first incumbent in three decades to lose reelection—and the only one whose defeat culminated in a violent insurrection.

Beginning with President Trump’s first impeachment and ending with his second, FRANKLY, WE DID WIN THIS ELECTION chronicles the inside-the-room deliberations between Trump and his campaign team as they opened 2020 with a sleek political operation built to harness a surge of momentum from a bullish economy, a unified Republican Party, and a string of domestic and foreign policy successes—only to watch everything unravel when fortunes suddenly turned.

With first-rate sourcing cultivated from five years of covering Trump in the White House and both of his campaigns, Bender brings readers inside the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and into the front row of the movement’s signature mega-rallies for the story of an epic election-year convergence of COVID, economic collapse, and civil rights upheaval—and an unorthodox president’s attempt to battle it all.

Fresh interviews with Trump, key campaign advisers, and senior administration officials are paired with an exclusive collection of internal campaign memos, emails, and text messages for scores of never-before-reported details about the campaign.

FRANKLY, WE DID WIN THIS ELECTION is the inside story of how Trump lost, and the definitive account of his final year in office that draws a straight line from the president’s repeated insistence that he would never lose to the deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol that imperiled one of his most loyal lieutenants—his own vice president.

I had always promised myself that I wouldn’t buy a Trump book, but after reading excerpts, I was not disappointed. The author takes you inside the last year of the Trump White House, and it is a wild ride. As horrible as I thought it was, I was not even close to imaging what the author describes. Any reader will find this book to be an even-handed and thoughtful account with the author working diligently to avoid bias. Highly recommend!

Michael Bender is a very thorough reporter who also, considering the topic of this book, has a really good sense of humor. Thomas Terence                                                                                      rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
