I wouldn’t necessarily call it an “attempt”so much as a plan that was, thankfully, foiled. I will say with all the Kennedy books I read last year, I don’t recall this piece of his story which happened after the election, but prior to inauguration. This would’ve been better without the rudimentary recap of his life before and after it, but I guess they needed word count. This wasn’t great.
