Axios AM

Jonathan Karl of ABC News — after writing two bestselling books on the Trump presidency — will be out in fall 2023 with Volume III, focusing on the aftermath of Jan. 6 and the future of the Republican Party.

Driving the news: Karl tells Axios he'll trace Trump's journey from losing president to Republican primary kingmaker — to the biggest loser of the 2022 midterms.

The book will explore how party leaders aided Trump's attempted political comeback — and what could break his hold on the party in the run-up to '24.

Go deeper: Excerpt from Volume II, "Betrayal."

2024 will be an election year like no other, as President Biden seeks re-election amid economic uncertainty, two wars and questions about his age. His likely foe, former President Trump, faces felony charges and vows revenge on his political enemies. Meanwhile, Americans generally are dissatisfied with those choices and are divided over immigration, race, education and more.
