Mollie Hemingway examines the 2020 presidential election through extensive interviews with campaign officials, reporters, Supreme Court justices, and President Trump. She argues that three forces combined to influence the outcome: media coverage that framed a Democratic victory as inevitable, Big Tech companies that suppressed information about the Biden family, and Democratic operatives who changed voting procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hemingway contends these actions represented a coordinated effort to undermine Trump's presidency that began years earlier. Drawing on insider access and behind-the-scenes reporting, she presents her case that the election process was manipulated through legal but unprecedented means. The book offers readers Hemingway's perspective on how political, media, and technology institutions shaped the electoral outcome.
