Last Tuesday, Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House, was released.
It is one of several recent books about the 2024 election, with Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book coming out next month.
This from townhall.com.
During CNN’s Saturday morning edition of “Table for Five,” Scott Jennings provided a rather telling reminder about what these books claim to reveal as his more liberal co-panelists and host Abby Phillip continued to relitigate Joe Biden’s ouster and What’s-Her-Name’s loss to President Trump.
Initially, Phillip and the guests focused on the point about how BHO wanted a mini primary, rather than for Biden to just endorse W’sHN as quickly as she did, with this book even claiming W’sHN had to beg Biden to do so. Eventually, though, Phillip mentioned the CNN debate between Biden and Trump on June 27, with Old Joe being forced to drop out of the race less than a month later.
SE Cupp lamented:
2024 was a mess [and these books are] all noise.
Phillip responded:
They had to have turned the clock back maybe four or five months before even the debate that Joe Biden bungled to get to a point where they could start to address what you’re saying there. I think that’s really fundamentally what happened.
Van Lathan criticized BHO for trying to bully young black men into voting for W’sHN and making it about how she’s a woman.
Jennings began by thanking Lathan.
Well, I was going to criticize President Obama, but you handled it. So thank you.
Further, Jennings said:
These books, first of all, seeing that video of [W’sHN] and then these videos of Tim Walz the last few days, man, did we dodge a bullet. Lord have mercy.
Jennings continued:
These books coming out, it can all be told now. I mean, I sat here all during the campaign and was assured Joe Biden was fine. [W’sHN] had the most organic, grassroots driven campaign. The Democrats were unified. We had a campaign of joy, and everything was hunky dory.
That’s what I was told night after night after night. And now all the books are coming out, and it’s amazing because a lot of the people who were telling those lies are now going to get paid to write those books. It’s crazy.

Cupp enthusiastically agreed with such an assessment, having added:
I think a lot of people feel that betrayal, being lied to their face about Biden’s health, about the strength of the party.
Jennings also reminded:
Our own government, our own government from the White House podium lied to us about his condition and covered it up. And even Ron Klain, the former chief of staff, is now saying things that are crazy when you read them today.
While Jennings ran out of time, it is worth mentioning then White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre specifically by name, and how much she gaslighted the White House press corps and the American people, even claiming those bringing up video evidence of Biden’s decline were guilty of “cheap fakes.”
If only lying to We the American People was a capital crime!
