Critic reviews

“David Drucker serves up well-reported portraits of a host of Republican and conservative players, neatly capturing their struggles to navigate the strange new world of post-Trump GOP politics. Watching the 2024 hopefuls adapt to the GOP base’s hunger for Trumpian performative populism, racial dog whistling, and own-the-libs bluster is almost enough to make you pity them. Almost.” (Greg Sargent, Washington Post columnist)

"Deeply reported, gracefully written, and eminently readable. Hurray for David Drucker!" (Brit Hume, senior political analyst, Fox News Channel)

"One man may dominate the race, but In Trump's Shadow is a comprehensive and indispensable form guide to the wide field of contenders for what may be a tumultuous Republican presidential contest in 2024." (Gerard Baker, editor at large, The Wall Street Journal)

Fantastic overview of the road ahead

Mr. Drucker dives deep on all the prospective 2024 GOP Presidential candidates. He keeps it highly informative and entertaining throughout. A must read for anyone interested in the 2024 Presidential cycle.

If you like Wonk, you’ll love this book

A highly wonky listen that really makes you ponder potential 2024 GOP presidential candidates, this could surely be considered dry to those who aren’t politically obsessed. I enjoyed it because I’m a massive political nerd.
One glaring issue for me was the number of hiccups in the recording quality. Perhaps the content was so dry that the editor tuned out when the author LITERALLY said “oops” or corrected his words during the recording. The first time I thought I was imagining that he sounded like a kindergarten teacher correcting herself at story time. But the more he flubbed, the more I uttered “WFT?” to myself. Overall, it’s worth a listen but only if it’s on sale.

Good, if not great

Lots of behind the scenes information, ending up with a dinner at mar a lago with Donald Trump.

Hoping for non - partisanship, didn’t get it

I was hoping for a wee researched look at other conservative candidates for future elections but got a rash of references to “Trumpism”. Is that a well defined term in American Society? The first part sounded a bit anti- trump but was promising on the well researched piece on Tom Cotton. The next part was so painfully anti- Trump that I stopped listening. I would not suggest this book to anyone. This is sad to me because I was really looking forward to hearing about what else is out there but I get the impression that anybody that like what Trump accomplished is ignorant and we need to get back to the “Swampers”
