THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice

One of 62 Books 'The Ezra Klein Show' Guests Recommended This Year, The New York Times

Featured in Vanity Fair’s Books to Read in November

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

"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 and his legal troubles were mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and the president-elect.

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 signed up for by once again choosing 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?

Jonathan Karl is the chief Washington correspondent for ABC News and co-anchor of This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Karl has covered every major beat in Washington, D.C., including the White House, Capitol Hill, the Pentagon, and the State Department. He has reported from the White House under four presidents and fourteen press secretaries. He is a former president of the White House Correspondents' Association. Front Row at the Trump Show and Betrayal were instant New York Times bestsellers.

Reviews

"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

"Excellent reporting and assured writing—an ominous warning."—Kirkus (STARRED REVIEW)

"A read-in-one-sitting narrative every bit as riveting as the most adrenalin-fueled political thriller. But, sadly, it’s not fiction; it's very real and, Karl warns, things are set to get a lot realer."—Booklist

"Tired of Winning is the definitive account, by one of our most insightful reporters, of Donald Trump’s strange obsessions and behaviors as he struggles to avoid what he considers to be the worst possible fate: being a loser." —Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Leonardo da Vinci

"Karl has a reporter’s eye and ear for the truth—all carefully rendered here."Bob Woodward

"A terrific psychological window into Donald Trump in exile after January 6, after leaving office, when he'd become a pariah and was toxic and nobody in the party really wanted anything to do with him. And Jonathan, really, in a compelling way, chronicles Trump in those months between leaving office and before he actually begins to regain some of his old political power and moves toward another run in 2024. . . . Jonathan's book is the best thing I've read on that period." —Tim Alberta, The Ezra Klein Show Expand reviews
