Description
Two of the most influential conservative Congressman in America explain how they've helped Donald Trump succeed, and why the future for conservatives looks so bright.
Since their arrive in Congress, Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows have plotted a revolution that began with the resignation of Speaker of the House John Boehner. In the years since, and most notably with the election of Donald Trump, their dreams of reshaping America have come into fruition. Yet Jordan and Meadows do not follow the playbook of former GOP leaders, who hewed to policy moderation and fealty to donors for success. In Promises Kept, they reveal the way that new ideas and deeply held beliefs have sparked a passion the party hasn't seen in decades.
Spinning the story of the past fractious decade-most notably the last three years-with verve and detail, they take readers inside the room as key decisions were made, from the formation of the Freedom Caucus to the GOP tax bill to the committee show trials meant to cripple Trump and take him down. No two members of the House of Representatives have been more instrumental in shifting the GOP's direction, and now they tell the story as only they can.
Part first draft of history and part call to arms for greater change, Promises Kept reveal the heart of two warriors determined to create the country they want-to Make American Great Again.
