Download or read book Battle for the Soul written by Edward-Isaac Dovere and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning political journalist for The Atlantic tells the inside story of how the embattled Democratic Party, seeking a direction for its future during the Trump years, successfully regained the White House. The 2020 presidential campaign was a defining moment for America. As Donald Trump and his nativist populism cowed the Republican Party into submission, many Democrats—haunted by Hillary Clinton’s shocking loss in 2016 and the resulting four-year-long identity crisis—were convinced that he would be unbeatable. Their party and the country, it seemed, might never recover. How, then, did Democrats manage to win the presidency, especially after the longest primary race with the biggest field ever? How did they keep themselves united through an internal struggle between newly empowered progressives and establishment forces—playing out against a pandemic, an economic crisis, and a new racial reckoning? Edward-Isaac Dovere’s Battle for the Soul is the searing, fly-on-the-wall account of the Democrats’ journey through recalibration and rebirth. Dovere traces this process: from the early days in the wilderness of the post-Obama era to the jockeying of potential candidates; from the backroom battles and exhausting campaigns to the unlikely triumph of the man few expected to win; and on through the inauguration and the insurrection at the Capitol. Dovere draws on years of on-the-ground reporting and contemporaneous conversations with the key players—whether with Pete Buttigieg in his hotel suite in Des Moines an hour before he won the Iowa caucuses or with Joe Biden in his first-ever interview in the Oval Office—as well as with aides, advisors, and voters. Offering unparalleled access and an insider’s command of the campaign, Battle for the Soul takes a compelling look at the policies, politics, and people, as well as the often absurd process of running for president. This fresh and timely story brings you on the trail, into the private rooms, and along to eavesdrop on critical conversations. You will never see campaigns or this turning point in our history the same way again.

Download or read book Multiracial Identity and Racial Politics in the United States written by Natalie Masuoka and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy makers, academic administrators, scholars, and members of the public are clamoring for indicators of the value and reach of research. The question of how to quantify the impact and importance of research and scholarly output, from the publication of books and journal articles to the indexing of citations and tweets, is a critical one in predicting innovation, and in deciding what sorts of research is supported and whom is hired to carry it out. There is a wide set of data and tools available for measuring research, but they are often used in crude ways, and each have their own limitations and internal logics. Measuring Research: What Everyone Needs to Know(R) will provide, for the first time, an accessible account of the methods used to gather and analyze data on research output and impact. Following a brief history of scholarly communication and its measurement -- from traditional peer review to crowdsourced review on the social web -- the book will look at the classification of knowledge and academic disciplines, the differences between citations and references, the role of peer review, national research evaluation exercises, the tools used to measure research, the many different types of measurement indicators, and how to measure interdisciplinarity. The book also addresses emerging issues within scholarly communication, including whether or not measurement promotes a "publish or perish" culture, fraud in research, or "citation cartels." It will also look at the stakeholders behind these analytical tools, the adverse effects of these quantifications, and the future of research measurement.

Book excerpt: A glorious, multi-racial, empathetic, all are equal, new era has begun with the swearing in of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., a European American Roman Catholic of Irish-British-French descent as the 46th U.S. President and Kamala Devi Harris, who has a tri-racial background: daughter of an Asian Indian American mother Shyamala Gopalan Ayyangar and a Jamaican African American father Donald Jasper Harris and the wife of a Jewish American husband Douglas Craig Emhoff as the 49th U.S. Vice President. In his last farewell address, Donald Trump said: "It's been a great honor, the honor of a lifetime; the greatest people in the world; the greatest home in the world - I call it a home. We've had an amazing four years: We've accomplished a lot. We love the American people. And I just want to say goodbye, but hopefully it's not a long-term goodbye. We'll see each other again. Thank you" and he departed for his family home in Florida. " In the crowded 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate pool of Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Michael Bloomberg, Tulsi Gabbard and Tom Steyer, the former Vice President Joe Biden emerged as the Democratic Presidential candidate to go against the Republican Presidential Candidate in the Tuesday, November 3, 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. While the strong economy boosted Trump's winning chances, the knee on the neck episodes and raging COVID-19 epidemic helped Joe Biden win the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election 360 - 232. (America recorded 25 million COVID-19 cases and over 400,000 Americans deaths Monday, January 25, 2021). The U.S. Congress and Incumbent VP Mike Pence officially certified the victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 Presidential Election on Thursday, January 7, 2021. Sadly, a day before that on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, an unruly, instigated and riotous mob of thousands of Donald Trump's supporters broke into the U.S. Capitol damaging the building, attacking the American police and chasing the Senators and the House Representatives to make Trump the President again. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded by requesting Mike Pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment and unseat Donald Trump. With Pence not ready to oblige, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached Donald Trump the second time on one article of impeachment: "incitement to insurrection" on Wednesday, January 13, 2021 by 232 to 197. Next, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell agreed to begin the Impeachment Trial of Donald Trump in the U.S. Senate in the week of February 8, 2021. The House Democratic Impeachment Managers appointed by the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and hence, tasked with presenting the impeachment case against Donald J. Trump, walked over to the Senate and submitted to its consideration the impeachment article: "Incitement of Insurrection" on Monday 25, 2021. Next, all the 100 Senators in the U.S. Senate were sworn in as members of the jury for a Court of Impeachment on Tuesday, January 26, 2021. Both the to be either impeached or acquitted President Donald John Trump and House Democratic Impeachment Managers from the House of Representatives had and the Impeachment Trial of Donald Trump in the U.S. began the week of February 8, 2021. Joe Biden, the 46th U.S. President, not wanting to waste even a minute of his highly precious presidential time has already announced a $1.9 trillion stimulus plan, announced a COVID-19 containment program, indicated a $15 minimum wage rate for the benefit of American workers, taken umpteen measures to put money into the hands of Americans, revive small businesses and strengthen U.S. economy. Now the questions are: Will the 45th U.S. President Donald J. Trump escape impeachment by the U.S. Senate the second time too as it happened the first time? Will Biden Help USA recover from COVID-19? Will Biden make the Economy flourish and make the Americans smile again? Only time will give the answ

Book excerpt: ""Promise me, Dad," Beau had told his father. "Give me your word that no matter what happens, you're going to be all right." Joe Biden gave him his word. Promise Me, Dad chronicles the year that followed, which would be the most momentous and challenging in Joe Biden's extraordinary life and career. Vice President Biden traveled more than a hundred thousand miles that year, across the world, dealing with crises in Ukraine, Central America, and Iraq. When a call came from New York, or Capitol Hill, or Kyiv, or Baghdad--"Joe, I need your help"--he responded. For twelve months, while Beau fought for and then lost his life, the vice president balanced the twin imperatives of living up to his responsibilities to his countryand his responsibilities to his family. And never far away was the insistent and urgent question of whether he should seek the presidency in 2016. The year brought real triumph and accomplishment, and wrenching pain. But even in the worst times, Biden was able to lean on the strength of his long, deep bonds with his family, on his faith, and on his deepening friendship with the man in the Oval Office, Barack Obama. Writing with poignancy and immediacy, Joe Biden allows readers to feel the urgency of each moment, to experience the days when he felt unable to move forward as well as the days when he felt like he could not afford to stop. This is a book written not just by the vice president, but by a father, grandfather, friend, and husband. Promise Me, Dad is a story of how family and friendships sustain us and how hope, purpose, and action can guide us through the pain of personal loss into the light of a new future."--Provided by publisher.
