Based on extensive reporting, a Game of Thrones-like telling of what comes next for the factions and families within the Republican Party as they plot for supremacy in the post-Trump era.

With Trump’s four years in the White House now in the rearview, an unprecedented period in American political history is concluded. The transition, however, has set off a mad scramble for control of a Republican Party that for so long has reflected the domineering image of one man—and might even still in the years ahead. Who emerges from the warring factions and familial rivalries that proliferated and quietly festered during Trump’s presidency could determine the fate of the GOP for a generation, and the first hint of what’s to come begins with the 2024 campaign to crown the first Republican nominee, and national party leader, of the post-Trump era.

With Trump’s exit, a singular era in American political history has ended—and the Republican Party, whose identity had for so long been centered around one man, will be forced to redefine itself for the future.

Featuring profiles of everyone from Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, and Nikki Haley to Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and those in the Trump family, In Trump's Shadow tells the story of a GOP under—and after—the forty-fifth president, and all of those jousting for influence over the party’s direction in the wake of Donald Trump.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"David Drucker is a part of a sadly vanishing breed of political reporters who want to know what the story is, not what they wish it would be. David's analysis is fact-driven, superbly sourced and fair-minded. His work is an essential tool for understanding the 2024 landscape."―Chris Stirewalt, author of EVERY MAN A KING

"Even as the avalanche of books looking backwards at the events of the Trump Presidency continues to crush reviewers, David Drucker had the wisdom—to look ahead! The 2024 GOP contest for the right to lead the party in the presidential contest is at least the equal of any modern campaign in suspense and it’s going to take a three tiered platform to get all the candidates on to the debate stage at the same time. Drucker is the only reporter to at least get the list of possible Republican candidates right as 2021 slides towards 2022. That's because he’s a reporter’s reporter. Drucker’s a weekly guest on my radio show simply because he’s always ahead of the curve…and is so again with this book.”―Hugh Hewitt, host of "The Hugh Hewitt Show"

“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

"This is a book that tries to answer the question we're all asking: What, exactly, is the future of the post-Trump Republican party? An essential read for anybody who cares about our politics and the country's political future."―Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief, Washington Free Beacon

"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

“Drucker delivers."―Kirkus

"Extensively reported."―Publishers Weekly

I have been a regular reader of Drucker's Washington Examiner column so when I heard Drucker on The Ruthless Podcast discussing the book and it's focus on candidates positioning for 2024 it had my interested. The Pompeo, Pence and Haley sections are very informative. The scene at Mara-algo for the Trump interview is quite fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Politicos
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2021
Verified Purchase
A captivating analysis of the field of GOP candidates aiming for the Oval in a post-Trump (or is it?) world. The 2024 Republican primary will undoubtedly determine the direction of the party- and, with Biden's flagging poll numbers- likely the country. Drucker delivers a non-partisan, non-biased depiction of the White House hopefuls with a punch of whimsy. It's thoroughly enjoyable and, really, a must read for politicos across the ideological spectrum. I only hope there's a sequel that covers the 2024 race.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read before 2024 election
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2022
In Trump’s Shadow by David M Drucker is a look into those he sees as the front runners for the upcoming presidential race. This book is a good way to prepare yourself for the upcoming campaign. It covers, in depth, Senators Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, former Rep Will Hurd, former VP Mike Pence, former Ambassador/Governor Nikki Haley, Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former President Trump. While this is not a book about the former President, it is about the future of the GOP. The author describes where their strengths and weaknesses lie. This is a well researched, fact based book about some of the most likely contenders to run for President in 2024. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the Republican 2024 presidential race. Thanks to NetGalley and Twelve Books publisher for giving me the chance to read this ARC.

4.0 out of 5 stars Drucker is an Ace on GOP Politics
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2021
Drucker is a well-informed, savvy political analyst and reporter, particularly with respect to GOP politics. The book is a good primer on the state of the GOP after Trump and the challenges it faces as 2024 approaches. Definitely recommended for any political junkie looking for their next reading fix.

Surprisingly insightful. Unlike every other Trump-era campaign book, this doesn't just rehash what's already been publicly reported.

Drucker's commentary is pretty funny, too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unreadable
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2021
Unreadable. This author possesses a stunning vocabulary but he over-exercises his talents with far too frequent sel-indulgent musings and cute phrasing. I have devoured every Trump book I could find but this one frustrated me so intensely I quit halfway through chapter one. My suggestion is to read Landslide twice and avoid this mess entirely.
