Description
"No one gets today''s Washington like Ben TerrisTHE BIG BREAK is the definitive accounting of how it works in this ongoing post-Trump (pre-Trump?) maelstrom. I just imbibed this book." ?Mark Leibovich, author of This TownIn this fascinating investigation into the real life inner workings of a post-Trump American government, uncover the odd and eccentric personalities grappling for their own bit of power in D.C.The Big Break investigates how Washington works, and how different kinds of people try to make it work for them. Ben Terris presents an inside history of this crucial moment in Washington, reporting from exclusive parties, poker nights, fundraisers, secluded farms outside town and the halls of Congress; among the oddballs and opportunists and true believers. This book is about the people who see this moment as an opportunity to bet bigon their country or maybe just on themselves. It will take a close look at Washingtons bold-faced names as they try to get their bearings on the post-Trump (and possibly pre-Trump) landscape. And it will introduce readers to the behind-the-scenes players MAGA pilgrims and Resistance flamekeepers and shapeshifting veterans who believe they know what Washington, and America, must do if theyre going to survive, or even thrive. Trumps arrival in Washington represented a big break in how the city operated. He surrounded himself with outsiders; power structures reorganized around those who knew him or his family and those who could flatter and influence his base. He changed the way the game was played, only it wasnt actually a game at all. When pro-Trump elements both inside and outside of government plotted to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election, the Capitol became a combat zone, then a military fortress. It was, to put it lightly, a destabilizing time. But how much did the Trump years really change Washington? Has Joe Bidens presidency heralded a return to normal, as many had hoped? What did normal mean before Trump, and what do people think it means now? The Big Break will follow a cast of D.C. characters in search of answers to these questions. They are a diverse crewa pollster with a gambling habit, an oil heiress with a big heart, a cowboy lobbyist, a Republican kingmaker who decided to love Trump and his right-hand man who decided he couldnt any longer. They all share at least one thing in common: They had seen their country go through a Big Break, and theyd come to get theirs.
