the 2018 midterms, book says

Five senior Trump administration officials, including three cabinet secretaries, threatened to quit en masse ahead of the 2018 midterms, according to a forthcoming book.

The previously unreported near mutiny is detailed in New York Times' Peter Baker and New Yorker's Susan Glasser's upcoming book "The Divider," which Insider obtained ahead of its September 20 publication.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen was at her breaking point by the fall of 2018, which saw the bruising confirmation battle over Justice Brett Kavanaugh. She herself had spent much of the year facing public backlash in response to the Trump administration's controversial immigration policies, and private admonishment and pressure from Trump to be even more aggressive.

Trump, the authors wrote, was "once again once again, on the warpath, worried about losing control of Congress and eager to appeal to his anti-immigrant base" as the midterms approached, increasingly obsessed with reports of a caravan coming to the United States from Honduras and pressuring Nielsen to take drastic actions like shutting down the US's southern border, which she rebuffed.
