Today is Trump’s last full day in office. His final Gallup job approval rating is 34%, the lowest of his term. Tomorrow he retreats to FL, the Senate prepares an impeachment trial, and Biden will be inaugurated.

Welcome to a new Playbook for a new era 👇
politico.com/newsletters/pl…
Today, a new team takes the reins of our unofficial guide to the official Washington—just as one administration leaves power and a new one enters office.

“The great thing about this new team is we all have very distinct lanes,” says @EugeneDaniels2. “It’s gonna be fun as hell.”
Meet our new Playbook authors:
• @Rachaelmbade – Congress
• @EugeneDaniels2 – Kamala Harris, Jill Biden and new power
• @RyanLizza – Biden admin, national politics
• @Tarapalmer – Power, people & politics

A few of the things they’re watching for during Biden’s first 100 days:
• How far left will progressives on the Hill move the Biden White House?
• How will Biden make good on his promises to unite a divided country?
• How will the GOP move forward, with or without Trump?
Biden ran on unity but will soon have to work with Congress members who backed Trump’s post-election plot, even after they were chased from their chambers by rioters. “

More in today’s Playbook on the state of the Washington Trump will leave behind 👇 politico.com/newsletters/pl…
P.S. Our new @playbookplus team is interviewing @WhipClyburn today at 2:30pm ET. Join us as we talk about Biden’s agenda and tomorrow’s mostly virtual inauguration ceremony.

A handful of Republicans are signaling they may join Democrats in the historic second attempt to remove the president from office.

Here are the GOP lawmakers who may support Trump's impeachment 👇
politico.com/news/2021/01/1…
Sen. Lisa Murkowski

She’s broken with Trump and the GOP before, most recently when she initially opposed confirming a replacement to the Supreme Court after Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. Murkowski ultimately voted to confirm Trump’s pick, Amy Coney Barrett politi.co/3bsO5XY Image
Sen. Ben Sasse

He's a frequent critic of Trump and Republicans who stick too closely with the president. He sent a 2,200-word critique of his GOP colleagues after Sen. Josh Hawley declared that he would back Trump’s bid to challenge Joe Biden’s victory politi.co/3bsO5XY Image
