NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank is planning a book on the House of Representatives, and it will not be flattering.
Little, Brown and Company announced Thursday that Milbank's 鈥淔ools on the Hill鈥� is scheduled for 2024, an election year. Milbank, whose previous books include 鈥淪mash Mouth: Two Years in the Gutter with Al Gore and George W. Bush鈥� and 鈥淗omo Politicus: The Strange and Scary Tribes that Run Our Government," said in a statement he had assigned himself the job 鈥渙f covering all the twists and turns in the Republican-controlled House.鈥�
Milbank cited as examples the dayslong effort to elect Kevin McCarthy House Speaker, 鈥渢he most contentious speaker election in a century and a half,鈥� and "the specter of a first-ever default on the national debt.鈥�
Milbank, 54, joined the Post in 2000 and has been writing a column since 2005.
