The day after Donald Trump won the 2024 election, CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios correspondent Alex Thompson decided to co-author a book about what had led the Democratic party to defeat, with a focus on former President Joe Biden.
The deeply sourced reporters found what they call a “cover-up” of the former president’s “serious decline.”
The resulting book, titled “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” is coming out on May 20.
The book’s publisher, Penguin Press, announced the project on Wednesday.
“What you will learn makes President Biden’s decision to run for reelection seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless — a desperate bet that went bust — and part of a larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents,” Penguin said in a press release.
Biden, “his family, and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again, they lied to themselves, allies, and the public about his condition and limitations,” the press release stated.
“Toni Morrison once said ‘If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it,’” Jake Tapper said in a statement. “That’s what inspired this book: we wanted to know more about what we all just lived through. More than 200 interviews later, Alex and I have a much better idea. And soon you all will too.”
Tapper had a unique vantage point as the co-moderator of the June 2024 CNN debate that led Biden to drop out of the presidential race a few weeks later.

So his aides propped them up with Crazy Glue.
I remember that. They were so proud he supposedly answered every question. That tells me they had a really, really low expectations.

What galls me the most———Jill, Hunter and the others knew
Biden wasnt up to a debate least of all w/ a power brain like Trump.
But they foisted him on us thinking we were so dumb we would blindly
accept the demented derelict..... and would vote him in as president.
That annoys me to no end.
Anything about the chicom bribes mentioned?
Such a good point. I had to go to FR to find it again to show my husband. 👍
