Jan. 20, 2021 — the presidential inauguration is 69 days from today, and we know surprisingly little about how it will all unfold. Thanks to Covid-19, it will be different than any inauguration in history. Here's what we know 👇politico.com/newsletters/pl…
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) is the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies chair and held a meeting yesterday morning with the committee — Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell and Amy Klobuchar — to discuss the details politico.com/newsletters/pl…
Typically, the bulk of the details would be handled by staffers. But lawmakers themselves must figure out how to safely stage an event that includes the world’s most powerful people and hundreds of thousands of spectators in the middle of this pandemic. politico.com/newsletters/pl…

The Biden transition team has been vetting potential Cabinet candidates for months. Here’s a list of early contenders, based on dozens of conversations with Biden aides, his close allies, lobbyists and Hill staff 👇 politi.co/2IdHxAc
Defense secretary: Just about everybody you talk to says this is Michele Flournoy’s job to lose. Her work on accelerating tech developments to outpace China suggests that for her, the role needs to take on a portfolio far beyond traditional military prep. politi.co/2IdHxAc ImageImage
Secretary of State: The pandemic will likely consume Biden's early months, which could lead him to choose someone with experience at the department because they wouldn’t need much training. That makes Susan Rice an appealing option, but strong GOP opposition may hurt her chances. ImageImage

Kayleigh McEnany says President Trump will break his post-election silence "at the right moment."

“Right now he’s letting this litigation play out,” she she said this morning, referring to the Trump campaign’s election-related legal challenges.

McEnany said Trump was "letting his lawyers take the lead on this while he stays hard at work for the American people on Covid and other matters" politi.co/3kpVuIm
When asked about this weekend's MAGA events in D.C. McEnany said she expected the turnout to be "quite large."

"He has 72 million people who love him, who want to show up and support him. His base is strong," she said.

There are two different ways of looking at how change happens in American politics. Some people put the emphasis on “top down,” while others think the better way to ponder long-term trends in government is “bottom up.” politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
One reason it will take a good long time to make sense of the 2020 election is that the results look very different — almost contradictory — when viewed from top-down versus bottom-up. politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
We assembled our reporters who cover politics from a bottom-up perspective — that is, with a special focus on the states — for an election postmortem. They give us a look at the people and the trends to watch in the next decade 👇 politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
