The best things said about it
So, I'm actually reading uh, Franklin Foer's, you know, The Last Politician, with the idea that Biden is the last of the old-fashioned deal makers and he really knows how to backslap and get the deal done and get along with people.
Megyn Kelly The Megyn Kelly Show · Sep 2023 Why people recommend it
The Last Politician by Franklin Foer is a non-fiction work that offers an inside look at the first two years of Joe Biden's presidency and the inner workings of his White House. On The Ezra Klein Show, McKay Coppins recommended the book during his end-of-show segment, noting that it had just been published by his colleague at The Atlantic and detailed the opening phase of the Biden administration. Megyn Kelly also discussed the book across multiple episodes of The Megyn Kelly Show. In one appearance, she mentioned she was reading it with the perspective that Biden represents the last of an era of old-fashioned dealmakers who understand how to backslap, negotiate effectively, and build relationships across the aisle. In a separate episode, Kelly brought up the book again to analyze excerpts published in Politico regarding the administration's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the broader challenges facing America's future under Biden's leadership. The discussions highlighted the book's dual focus on insider policy dynamics and the personal political style of the veteran president, drawing significant commentary from media figures examining contemporary American governance.
