Waves crashing "In The Last Politician, Franklin Foer dramatizes the first two years of the presidency of Joseph R. Biden, concluding with the historic midterm elections. It is a high-definition portrait of a president who used old-fashioned politics--deal-making and compromise--to move his agenda forward. As the midterms drew near, via a series of bills, Biden found a way to invest trillions of dollars in clean energy, the domestic semiconductor industry, and new infrastructure. The book includes insider reports of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the White House's response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine"-- Provided by publisher.
