_Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future - _Is democracy at peril? In their searing new book, This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future, _New York Times _reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns look at how the two-party system buckled under two years of perpetual crisis. The pandemic, a fractious 2020 election, and the January 6 attack on the Capitol all combined to threaten the stability and traditions of American politics.
Drawing on exclusive interviews, documents, and recordings – some of them explosive – Martin and Burns invite_ _us into the newsroom to uncover what led America to this critical breaking point, and the unsettled first year of the Biden administration.
The two will offer new insights into this unique slice of American history and carefully examine the true state of our democracy in a conversation with IOP director David Axelrod.
