Why do some candidates like Barack Obama or Donald Trump turn early breakthroughs into the presidency, while others—Gary Hart, Howard Dean, Pete Buttigieg—fade as quickly as they rise?

In President Next, David Carlucci traces six decades of presidential primaries to reveal the paradox of breakthrough versus sustainability. From Kennedy’s gamble in 1960 to the fractured field of 2024, he shows how insurgents ignite movements, how the establishment strikes back, and what it all reveals about American democracy.

Through sixteen pivotal insurgencies, Carlucci explains why Eugene McCarthy ended Johnson’s presidency, how Bill Clinton spun defeat into victory, what made Obama’s rise endure when Dean’s collapsed, and why Trump succeeded where so many outsiders failed.

President Next is both political history and a roadmap for understanding the forces that shape America’s leaders—and the graveyard of shooting stars left behind.
