Michelle Obama tops the “most admired woman” poll, followed by Kamala Harris and Melania Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

He lost the election but Trump finally won Gallup’s "most admired man of the year" poll, a title that usually goes to the incumbent president but eluded him until now. He ends Obama’s 12-year run as most admired, as Democrats split between Obama and Biden. https://t.co/PbcKmp77ld — PolitiTweet.org

As an exercise in presidential power, it was a flop. As a political tactic, it backfired. And as a coda to his final weeks in office, Trump’s hollow threat to veto Covid relief bill underscored his tumultuous tenure. ⁦@shearm⁩ ⁦@CatieEdmondson⁩ https://t.co/K0WPw0uisv — PolitiTweet.org

The 322-to-87 vote by the House is the first time either chamber of Congress has agreed to override one of Trump’s vetoes, a remarkable reprimand even by Republicans who have grown tired of his leadership. ⁦@CatieEdmondson⁩ https://t.co/ow6LJWWpBR — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

In voting for the $2,000 relief checks demanded by Trump, the Democratic-led House puts the Republican-led Senate in the position of approving sums they previously resisted or defying the defeated president of their own party. ⁦@CatieEdmondson⁩ https://t.co/ILoNyqUx9u — PolitiTweet.org

He also asserts that Congress will consider larger relief checks, which he did not actually push for during the negotiations, and claims lawmakers will look into his false allegations of voter fraud. — PolitiTweet.org

As he backs down and signs relief/spending bill, Trump says he will seek to cut items he does not like: "I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill." — PolitiTweet.org

The portion of people Americans now willing to take the vaccine has grown from about 50% this summer to more than 60%, and in one poll 73% — a figure that approaches what some health experts say would be sufficient for herd immunity. ⁦@JanHoffmanNYT⁩ https://t.co/4n8uL9PNty — PolitiTweet.org
