President Donald Trump left the White House in 2021 with a historically low approval rating. After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, his attempt to overthrow the 2020 presidential election, and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, Republicans, and much of the nation, appeared ready to move on from his presidency. Three years later, Trump returned to the White House with a decisive victory.  But his return wasn’t predestined. In “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” Post senior White House reporter Isaac Arnsdorf and former Post reporters Josh Dawsey and Tyler Pager reveal how Trump used his public criminal trials to dominate headlines and amass support. Meanwhile, critical missteps by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaigns hampered their ability to counter a Trump comeback.  Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with Arnsdorf about the book and discusses exclusive reporting about the Biden, Harris and Trump campaigns.  Today’s show was produced by Arjun Singh. It was edited by Laura Benshoff and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Katy Burnell Evans.  Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

  • Like I couldn't put your book down.

  • I mean, what was it like for you having like been out there so much and then,

  • yeah, to have to relive it?

  • Writing it was sort of an exercise in trying to make sense of it for myself, right?

  • And writing it as we went along and reporting it as we went along before we knew the ending,

  • before we really knew what mattered.

  • It helped me kind of sort out my thoughts about it and kind of answer the really fundamental questions.

  • You know, I think our real-time reporting was really good,

  • but we were all left with some questions of why.

  • And I think we got to the bottom of those in the book.

  • From the newsroom of the Washington Post, this is Post Reports.

  • I'm Colby Echoitz, politics reporter and host of Post Reports Weekly Politics Roundtables.

  • It's Friday, July 11th.

  • So we're doing something a little different this week.

  • I'm joined by just one guest,
