Brian Stelter: Jake Tapper’s Biden Book Is Going to Be a Very Big Blockbuster Book But Debate Is Briefly Put on Pause Because of Health News

STELTER: “So you have that as one element of the timing here. And then you have, as you and Paul just acknowledged, this book coming out, one of the biggest political books in several years. Take out our colleague Jake Tapper for a second. This book, no matter who — no matter where it was coming from, was going to be a very big blockbuster book. And it just so happens two of the best reporters in Washington, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, are the authors of it. It‘s already a bestseller based on the number of pre-orders. And so this book comes out in two days, but some of the excerpts have already come out, and it‘s reignited this debate, in Washington and beyond, within the Democratic Party about Biden, about whether he should have run for reelection at all. So it seems to me, Jessica, this debate doesn‘t end at all, but it is briefly put on pause as a result of today‘s news.”
Dean: “Absolutely. And as people really absorb this, hopefully just in human way first. Brian Stelter, thank you so much for joining us. We really appreciate it.”
