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.

CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson are releasing a book on former President Joe Biden‘s mental decline during his time in office. Tapper notoriously defended Biden’s mental acuity dating back to 2020.

Despite Tapper's previous defense of Biden, he was among one of the most vocal critics of the president's decision to seek reelection in the wake of the June 27 presidential debate. Tapper was the co-moderator of the only debate that took place between Biden and Trump last year.
