Prologue -- "You know me" -- "We avoided that misstep, but not all of them" -- Reform or revolution? -- "This is just a bunch of bullshit!" -- "You forgot Biden" -- Lucky strike -- Panic! at the caucus -- Circular firing squads -- "None of us knew if there was going to be a campaign" -- Firewall -- "The old white guy walks away with the prize" -- The passenger -- "It's all turning" -- Law and disorder -- The keys to Tulsa -- Head or heart -- Unconventional summer -- The invisible enemy -- Do no harm -- Black clover.
Summary: "Almost no one thought Joe Biden could make it back to the White House--not Donald Trump, not the two dozen Democratic rivals who sought to take down a weak front-runner, not the mega-donors and key endorsers who feared he could not beat Bernie Sanders, not even Barack Obama. The story of Biden's cathartic victory in the 2020 election is the story of a Democratic Party at odds with itself, torn between the single-minded goal of removing Donald Trump and the push for a bold progressive agenda that threatened to alienate as many voters as it drew"--
