Reviews
The Trump-to-Biden interregnum from Nov. 3, 2020 to Jan. 20, 2021 was perhaps the most dramatic and dangerous transition period since the Civil War. We need to understand exactly what happened. Bob Denton makes a significant, lasting contribution to our understanding in this careful analysis.--Larry Sabato, Director, University of Virginia's Center for Politics This provocative and timely volume encourages readers to consider a variety of perspectives on the 2020 presidential election and its aftermath. This book is sure to foster debate and discussion about what happened in the aftermath of the election and what we as a nation do next as a result.--Peter Loge, associate professor, School of Media and Public Affairs, George Washington University
"Every four years, political commentators indulge in the hyperbole that ""this presidential election is the most important of our lifetime."" The 2020 election suggests that perhaps in the future, it will be the post-election rhetorical and legal contests that will merit this type of characterization. Editor Denton and his coauthors assess the post-election maneuverings by the Trump campaign and its supporters from a number of different angles, including how Trump sought to solidify his ""brand"" in the months between election day and January 6, how the media coverage roiled rather than calmed the partisan waters during this period, and how Trump and his lawyers' legal strategies tried to change the election outcomes in some states. Recommended. Undergraduates through faculty. The Trump-to-Biden interregnum from Nov. 3, 2020 to Jan. 20, 2021 was perhaps the most dramatic and dangerous transition period since the Civil War.
