Publisher's summary

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"The most important thing that has been written to date about what is in front of the American people in the next presidential election."—Nicolle Wallace

An extraordinary view into the politics of our times, Tired of Winning explores how Donald Trump remade the Republican Party in his own image—and the wreckage he’s left in his wake.

Packed with new reporting, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party tracks Trump’s improbable journey from disgraced and defeated former president to the dominant force, yet again, in the Republican Party.

From his exile in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump has become more extreme, vengeful, and divorced from reality than he was on January 6, 2021. His meddling damaged the GOP’s electoral prospects for third consecutive election in 2022. His legal troubles are mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Jonathan Karl has known Donald Trump since his days as a New York Post reporter in the 1990s, and he covered every day of Trump’s administration as ABC News’s chief White House correspondent. No one is in a better position to detail the former president’s quest for retribution and provide a glimpse at what the GOP would be signing up for if it once again chooses him as its standard bearer.

In 1964, Ronald Reagan told Americans it was “a time for choosing.” Sixty years later, Republicans have their own choice to make: Are they tired of winning?

Critic reviews

THE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Featured in Vanity Fair’s Books to Read in November

One of the Associated Press' Most Anticipated Books of the Fall

Tired of Winning… is the most important thing that has been written to date about what is in front of the American people in the next presidential election.” Nicolle Wallace

"Tired of Winning should be required reading before voting in 2024." Bill Press, The Hill

Tired of Winning is worth reading. It is well-paced, meticulously sourced and amply footnoted. Karl’s third installment on the Trump presidency and aftermath shines a needed light on how the Republican party has been recast and reshaped.” —The Guardian

Wow - great listen!

Trump - what a clown. It’s a sad state of affairs when after knowing and seeing all that he has done - that there are still people who follow and/or support this narcissistic whacko. How do they not see that he has a dictator state of mind and approach?!?! It’s pathetic. Jonathan Karl’s book is awesome.

Trump is void of any decent human emotions or thoughts.

This book explains why in the future the word trump will be a synonym for cancer or destruction. “Oh, the team was trumped and was unable to function together, or It is so sad that they were exposed to a trump and died.”

Those few Republicans who had the courage to speak the truth.

The organization of this book and the presentation on Audible by its author was a great summary of what's gone on, up until this time, since the election of Trump, and his eventual defeat imn 2020.

True, True, True,

The book was great, Mr. Karl did an excellent Job. But Just think about it. It's scary to think about what could happen, if that family got back in the WHITE HOUSE.? Say goodbye to Democracy.

A Must Read

Jonathan Carl has done our country a great service by putting
this story out there so we can learn the truth. I’m very scared about what will happen to our country of Trump wins the 2024 election!

Incredibly written, and absolutely terrifying.

A must read. As Joy Reid says, “scaring is caring.”

Another Trump Administration absolutely terrifies me, as it should every other American. Jonathan Karl does a masterful job in this book.
