sits down with Franklin Foer, journalist and staff writer for The Atlantic, for a conversation about his new book, “The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden’s White House and the Struggle for America’s Future.”
With unparalleled access to President Biden’s inner circle Foer tells the story of the first two years of the Biden presidency. From taking the oath of office just two weeks after an unprecedented attack on the Capitol while the country was still battling the COVID19 pandemic, Foer illustrates in gripping detail how Biden passed some of the most ambitious legislation since the 1960s, ended the longest running war in Afghanistan and steered the Democratic party to surprising midterm victories.

With unparalleled access to the tight inner circle of advisers who have surrounded Biden for decades, Franklin Foer dramatizes in forensic detail the first two years of the Biden presidency, concluding with the historic midterm elections. The result is a gripping and high-definition portrait of a major president at a time when democracy itself seems imperiled. With his back to the wall, Biden resorted to old-fashioned politics: deal-making and compromise.
"The Last Politician" is a landmark work of political reporting—which includes thrilling, blow-by-blow insider reports of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and the White House’s swift response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine—that is destined to shape history’s view of a president in the eye of the storm.
