This Tuesday we start off with an update on the articles of impeachment against former President Trump, including who will be presiding over the Senate trial. We cover a few more news items out of the Senate, and how Mitch McConnell is resisting the transfer of power.* We also cover the first few confirmations of Biden’s cabinet and the executive actions he’s taking in the face of a paralyzed senate. Lastly, we end with some Coronavirus updates, including the status of the remaining vaccine trials.
*After this recording, Mitch McConnell agreed to pass the organizing resolution and formally hand over majority power to the Democrats, without formal agreement to keep the filibuster in place.
