Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson with David Remnick: Original Sin — President Biden’s 2024 Campaign

Video Description

Join CNN anchor and Chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper and Axios/CNN contributor Alex Thompson with David Remnick for an unflinching look at Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign and how it all unraveled — and their new book, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover Up, and his Disastrous Choice to Run Again. President Biden’s initial decision to run for reelection in 2024 — despite widespread concerns about his age and speculation about his physical decline — might have been one of the most fateful choices in modern American politics. How did it happen? In Original Sin, Tapper and Thompson go behind closed doors and into private conversations between some of the most powerful figures in Biden’s inner circle. Their story — about a campaign of denial leading directly, by their account, to Donald Trump’s return to power — raises fundamental questions about accountability and responsibility in the Democratic party. In a special conversation, hear Tapper and Thompson discuss the shocking details of the story, what it means for Democrats, why transparency still matters in American politics, and much more. This conversation was recorded on May 27th, 2025, at The 92nd Street Y, New York. Your support helps us continue creating online content for our community.
