From the archives from November of 2013, we revisit two revealing conversations with John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, co-authors of "Double Down: Game Change 2012," offering a behind-the-scenes look at the 2012 presidential campaign. From Mitt Romney’s uneasy path to the nomination to Barack Obama’s debate recovery—and the unforgettable convention moments featuring Clint Eastwood and Bill Clinton—the authors unpack the strategy, personalities, and pivotal decisions that shaped the race. It’s a candid exploration of modern campaigns, media coverage, and the human drama behind the headlines - and to listen to and relive it again over a decade later is quite something! Original air dates mid-November 2013. The book was published on 5 November 2013.
