Biden book: "This Will Not Pass" on 2020 election and Biden’s first year – Axios

President Biden confessed in private that he didn't understand Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), who helped stymie his biggest legislative dreams, New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns write in the first major book about the Biden-Harris administration, coming May 3.

Sneak peek: "One person close to the president likened Biden's perplexity at Sinema to his difficulty grasping his grandchildren's use of ... TikTok. He wanted to relate, but he just didnt quite get it," the authors write in "This Will Not Pass," about the 2020 election and President Biden's first year.

Biden aides complained that Sinema sounded more like Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) than a Democrat, the book says:

Between the lines: The title alludes to this period of political tumult not passing with the 2020 election.

On Jan.6, an enraged Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) telephoned White House counsel Pat Cipollone and told him that if President Trump didn't act more aggressively to denounce the mob "well be asking you for the 25th Amendment" to remove Trump from office.

Burns and Martin were represented by Matt Latimer and Keith Urbahn of Javelin.
