GW Expert on 2024 White House Hopefuls’ Book Spree

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida are the latest potential 2024 presidential candidates to announce they are publishing books, joining other likely GOP contenders such as former Vice President Mike Pence and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Releasing a book in advance of a presidential election year is often a telltale sign of a politician’s executive ambitions and White House watchers will surely peruse these works for hints about a candidate’s positions on the issues, campaign messaging strategies, and possible fatal flaws.

GW Graduate School of Political Management professor and political historian Matt Dallek, a published author himself, is available to provide further insight into the literary fever gripping 2024 Republican presidential contenders. He can also look back at presidential campaigns past to pull more examples of politicians publishing memoirs and manifestos to unofficially launch their presidential campaigns.
