President Donald Trump will try to recast his legacy away from the partisan violence of the past few weeks in a farewell address to be delivered this afternoon, according to excerpts released by the White House politico.com/news/2021/01/1…
As he leaves office as the only twice-impeached U.S. president, Trump portrayed his political phenomenon as a unifying one, as opposed to the vitriolic, partisan warfare he engaged in throughout his presidency and campaign politi.co/3qNmbuj
After Trump wished goodwill to President-elect Joe Biden, he tacked on that “the movement we started is only just beginning” politi.co/3qNmbuj
Trump hailed his presidency as a time when Americans were able to disagree and government was responsible to the people politi.co/3qNmbuj

President Biden is inheriting a big mess, says @lbarronlopez.

Here are the immediate actions he's taking later this evening: He'll be signing 15 executive action and memorandums in the Oval Office and send two requests to agencies politico.com/news/2021/01/2…
In his inaugural address, President Biden reached out to the other side of the aisle — exactly what you'd expect from Biden, who campaigned on being bipartisan, even when it irked Dems, says @hollyotterbein.

Vice President Kamala Harris took her oath of office Wednesday morning, cementing her status as both the first woman and person of color to hold the nation's second-highest office politico.com/news/2021/01/2…
Harris was sworn in on a pair of Bibles, one of which was previously owned by Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall — the first African-American to ever serve on the high court. politi.co/2Ne0KUq Image
Harris will quickly return to the Senate, where she represented California for the past four years, both to participate in the swearing in of Georgia’s two new Democratic senators and to begin serving as the tie-breaking vote in the evenly divided Senate. politi.co/2Ne0KUq

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.

Meet our new Playbook authors:
• @Rachaelmbade – Congress
• @EugeneDaniels2 – Kamala Harris, Jill Biden and new power
• @RyanLizza – Biden admin, national politics
• @Tarapalmer – Power, people & politics
