The book is about Joe Biden's successful campaign in the 2020 United States presidential election.[1] Allen and Parnes had previously written Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign, a book about Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful campaign in the 2016 United States presidential election.[2]
Content
Lucky describes how, according to Allen and Parnes, Joe Biden "barely won the presidency".[2] They describe conflicting ideas among Biden's campaign staff about political strategy, rhetoric, and policy. The book covers the campaign's response to matters such as the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing racial unrest.[1][2] The Biden campaign's navigation of the COVID-19 pandemic is given as one major reason for electoral success.[3][4] It examines interactions between key Democratic Party figures and the campaign, such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo.[5][6]
