Executive summary:

  • President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday, November 13.
  • Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY), one of Trump’s most vocal backers in Congress, will take the UN ambassadorial posting in Trump's next administration.
  • Trump also confirmed that former ICE Director Tom Homan will be appointed as border czar, noting that Homan, “will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin.”
  • Trump is likely to appoint Robert Lighthizer, his first-term US Trade Representative, to head the USTR again. Trump is reportedly considering North Dakota governor Doug Burgum (R-ND) as an ‘energy tsar’ to oversee an expanded energy portfolio. 
  • Trump’s ‘MAGA’ allies are rallying around Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in the race to succeed outgoing Republican leader Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY). A secret ballot on Wednesday will indicate if the upper chamber will continue its traditionally independent role or fall in closer alignment with Trump.
  • Republican lawmakers are looking to punt government funding into the new year when the GOP is expected to control all three branches of government.
  • Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has indicated that she has no plans to step down during the lame-duck session of Congress.
  • Trump is already influencing negotiations on conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
  • Poll of the Day: Republicans are inching closer to retaining control of the House of Representatives.
