Kevin McCarthy heads to Mar-a-Lago today to lunch with Trump. It's their first face-to-face since the Capitol riots. politico.com/newsletters/pl…
The McCarthy-Trump relationship has been quite the soap opera lately, our @playbookplus authors say, and today McCarthy will try to smooth things over, a process he started a few days ago. politico.com/newsletters/pl…
In Florida today to raise money, McCarthy plans to drop by Trump’s resort to inquire about the president’s political plans, our @playbookplus authors have been told.

McCarthy believes it’s in his interest to be on Trump’s good side, our @playbookplus authors say. Banishing him could cause problems for House Republicans and imperil McCarthy’s dream of becoming speaker one day. politico.com/newsletters/pl…

In 1946, American diplomat George Kennan wrote the “Long Telegram” under the pseudonym “X,” laying out the basis for U.S. policy toward the Soviet Union.

In that spirit, here's a bold, ambitious new U.S. strategy toward China, presented anonymously: politi.co/3cgSkWP
Opinion: The single most important challenge facing the U.S. in the 21st century is the rise of an increasingly authoritarian China under Xi Jinping, the author writes politi.co/3cgSkWP
Opinion: The U.S. must put replacing Xi Jinping at the center of its China policy by leveraging splits in the CCP elite, according to this major critique of the Chinese leadership politi.co/3cgSkWP

Update: Nearly every Senate Republican voted that putting a former president on trial for impeachment is unconstitutional.

The move delivers an early but not fatal blow to the House’s impeachment case against Donald Trump
politico.com/news/2021/01/2…
House’s impeachment managers need to convince at least 17 Republican senators in order to secure a conviction.

However, 45 GOP senators voted to dub the exercise unconstitutional

Here are the five GOP senators who joined all the Democrats in opposition:

– Susan Collins
– Lisa Murkowski
– Mitt Romney
– Ben Sasse
– Patrick Toomey

We’ve done some digging and pieced together who occupies most of the offices on the first two floors of the West Wing.

Here's the latest layout, according to several White House sources: politi.co/3ojjoqQ
Just steps from the Oval, in the most important real estate in the White House, sit:
• Mike Donilon
• Steve Ricchetti
• Bruce Reed
• Jen O'Malley Dillon
• Ron Klain

Down the hall:
• Anita Dunn
• Kate Bedingfield
• Jake Sullivan
• Annie Tomasini
politi.co/3ojjoqQ
All but 4 (Cedric Richmond, Adrian Saenz, Susan Rice and Kamala Harris) of the 22 people with a prime office on the 1st and 2nd floors of the West Wing are white. (11 men and 11 women.) They are who will have the most face time with Biden every day. politi.co/3ojjoqQ

Have you met our new @playbookplus team? We sat down with them to talk about covering politics for a new era.

“I think the Biden Administration is in for a bit of a shock," says @RyanLizza. They'll be facing reporters who thought the press was soft on covering Biden's campaign.
After the attack on Capitol Hill, @rachaelmbade says it’s imperative to call out the lies.

“A lot of Republicans on the Hill did not think that allowing Trump to say that he won the election was going to be dangerous. Clearly there’s a danger and we’ve gotta call that out.”
Power is not just about the people who have it, says @EugeneDaniels2.

“It’s also about the people that want it, what they want to do with it, who needs more of it and what they’re doing to get it. Those are things we're going to bring to you in Playbook.”

This week marked the end of the Trump Era and it has our reporters and editors reminiscing. They share their memories of the last 4 years. From shocking moments they witnessed, to conversations they overheard, here's what will stick with them forever. 🎧 apple.co/3bY0ALo
“I think of that night when it started. I was in NYC at the Javits Center," @natsfert says. "Everyone always talks about being in the room with the winner, but being in the room with the loser is almost more poignant. It's more interesting.” 🎧 apple.co/3bY0ALo
“Meeting MAGA world up close for the first time and seeing the zeal for him and his ability to capture the crowd," remembers @morningmoneyben "I'll never forget that rally in Iowa in November of 2015.”🎧 apple.co/3bY0ALo

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.
