Authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes will join the Institute for a virtual discussion on their latest book, Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency.

 

Lucky unfolds the pitched struggle within Biden’s general election campaign to downplay the very issues that many Democrats believed would drive voters to the polls, especially in the wake of Trump’s response to nationwide protests following the murder of George Floyd. Even Biden’s victory did not salve his party’s wounds; instead, it revealed a surprising, complicated portrait of American voters and crushed Democrats’ belief in the inevitability of a blue wave.
