Salena Zito is the journalist who knows Trumpand his votersbetter than anyone. The Free PressFrom the acclaimed journalist standing only a few feet away from the stage when the gunshots began is this gripping firsthand account of the near assassination of Donald Trump and the inside story of Trumps heartlandfueled victory.That day in Butler, had the wind gusted less, had Trumps head turned in a slightly different direction, or had the adrenalinefueled heart of the shooter beat slower, America would have been plunged into chaos, possibly even civil war. As a local reporter with deep ties to the area, Salena Zito had been invited by the president to interview him at the Butler Farm Show Grounds. She was standing only four feet away from the presidential podium when the bullets started to fly. A campaign staffer tackled her to the ground.Throughout it all, Salena never stopped reporting. She spoke by phone to Trump several times in the immediate aftermath and was granted access to community members, rally participants, family members and local law enforcement officials. I rarely look away from the crowd, Trump told her in one of several of those conversations. Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?Known for her ontheground reporting on populism and rural America, Salena zooms out to tell the fascinating story of the battle for Americas heartland and the issues that actually motivate voters. To understand how and why Trump won the 2024 election, you have to understand places like Butler. Big cities like Los Angeles, New York and D.C. dont decide who wins election cycles, but people in places like Butler, Pennsylvania sure do. President Trump gave the author extraordinary access for this book, including to his top aides, to his running mate JD Vance, to billionaire supporter Elon Musk, and even his security detail.There are moments that define America. The late afternoon hours of July 13, 2024 was one of them. This book is a narrative of that fateful day, the people of the heartland and the untold story of how the president found his way back into the heart of the electorate.
