Washington Post: "They had mobilized for four years, from the bottom up as much as the top down, millions of Americans determined to deny President Trump a second term. And when the moment came, when Joe Biden was declared the winner of the election, they collectively exhaled with a sigh of relief. Finally, it was over. The uprising sprouted in the hours after Trump's surprise victory in 2016 and blossomed throughout his time in office - women and men, young and old, African Americans, Whites, Latinos, Asians and Native Americans in cities and suburbs and small towns."
"Many had hoped for a sweeping repudiation of Trump, which did not materialize, but they achieved their primary goal. They stood up to the president and then defeated him in an election that revealed once again the contours of a deeply divided nation. They exuded joy and felt as though a weight suddenly had been lifted off them, although they said that much work lies ahead in healing the country. This is the story of that movement to resist Trump, as told by those on the front lines. This oral history is based on interviews with 71 people - elected officials and political insiders, as well as community activists and ordinary citizens. The interviews were conducted during the final month of the 2020 campaign and were lightly edited for clarity."
