  • During the 2016 Democratic primary race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, Abramson supported Sanders.[7] He authored what Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine called "a cult-favorite series of Bernie [Sanders] delegate-math fan fiction."[8] Philip Bump of The Washington Post took issue with Abramson's analyses, calling them "empty theory, unproven...but innovative."[9] Writing in The Chicago Tribune, Stephen Stromberg called Abramson a "Sanders zealot...[in] reality-denial."[10] The Atlantic, citing an article by Abramson in which he referred to his writing on the Democratic primary as "experimental journalism", attributed Abramson's articles not to his political leanings but his self-identification as a "metamodernist creative writer."[11][12] Politico concurred, referring to Abramson's political commentary as "verses from the abstract".
  • After the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Abramson received widespread attention for his Twitter threads alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and foreign governments, especially Russia, but also Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel. (Russian Interference In The 2016 Election)
    • In November 2018, Abramson published the New York Times bestselling book Proof of Collusion (Simon & Schuster), which sought to establish "proof of collusion in the Trump-Russia case."[16] Kirkus Reviews called the book "spirited, thorough, and thunderously foreboding."[17] A contrary view appeared in the Herald (Scotland), noting that "suggestive juxtapositions notwithstanding, we end up with something closer to the Scottish 'not proven' verdict with its unique mix of moral conviction of guilt and inability to conclusively prove the case."
    • A sequel to Proof of Collusion, Proof of Conspiracy, was published by St. Martin's Press in September 2019, and was also a New York Times bestseller.[19] The final book in the Proof trilogy, Proof of Corruption, was published by St. Martin's Press in September 2020 and was named a USA Today bestseller.
