Original Sin with Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson at MLK Library

In “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson document how Biden’s aides, advisers and allies backed his re-election bid despite growing concerns about his health—and how silence inside the administration shaped the 2024 campaign.
