Hillary Clinton and Liz Truss used the same election narrative to win their party’s nomination.
They were both very closely associated with the outgoing incumbent that they were seeking to succeed – Barack Obama and Boris Johnson respectively.
They both had extensive experience and had built reputations as leaders who could get things done.

The Protector is one of five narratives featured in my new book Primed which candidates and political professionals can use to win the nomination.
