The Betrayal: How Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans Abandoned America - Ira Shapiro

Descriere

nUnderstanding the greatest catastrophic failure of American Government.n nIn 2022, Ira Shapiro completed what Brooking scholar William A. Galston called an epic trilogy chronicling the disastrous decline of the once-great Senate. The Founding Fathers gave the Senate many functions, but it had one overriding responsibility: to provide a check against a dangerous president who threatened our democracy. Shapiro's gripping portrait of Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans' turning a blind eye to Donald Trump's abuses of power remains the definitive chronicle of the most catastrophic failure of government in American history. The updated edition carries the story forward into the Biden presidency and the efforts to restore bipartisanship in bitterly contentious times. n
