Politics Winner: The Red and the Blue
Our current brand of political polarization in the United States may seem like it has come out of left field (no pun intended), but its roots go back decades. Political correspondent Steve Kornacki (NBC and MSNBC), holds nothing back about how the 1990s have come to define our nation’s current partisan politics. In many ways it was a banner year for political involvement, and The Red and the Blue is a perfect primer on how we can learn from our past if we want to make a better future for ourselves. Even though 2018's historic midterms have come and gone, this is an essential listen for the 2020 race for the White House that is quickly approaching. —Kyle, Audible EditorRunners-Up

What happens when the President of the United States governs one Tweet at a time? When the elected leader of the free world may not have a firm grasp on the names of government agencies, much less an understanding of their intricate inner-workings? In the days following the 2016 inauguration, government personnel searched for answers that didn’t exist, while White House staff scoured halls for employees who would never be appointed.
