Leslie begins the hour with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment.
Here are the stories that she covered:

1. AXIOS: 13 Senators Threaten to Object to President-Elect Biden's Electoral College Victory

2. AUDIO: CNN's Jim Sciutto pushes GOP Rep. Clay Higgins, who will object to certification of electoral votes, over baseless claims of election fraud

3. NBC NEWS: "Thousands of Atlanta Ballots at Risk Ahead of Pivotal Georgia Senate Runoffs as Mail Delays Drag On"

4. AXIOS: "Vaccine distribution's information mess"

Then, Leslie is joined by Charlie Cook, Editor and Publisher of The Cook Political Report, and a political analyst for the National Journal Group.
The two discuss today's Senate runoff elections in Georgia, as well as what type of hold President Trump could have on the Republican Party once he is no longer President.

Charlie Cook is also a Political Analyst for NBC News. In 1984, Charlie founded the independent, non-partisan Cook Political Report. Now, with a staff of six, it is a publication that the New York Times once said was “a newsletter that both parties regard as authoritative” while CBS News’ Bob Schieffer called it “the bible of the political community.”
The late David Broder of The Washington Post, long considered "the Dean of the Washington press corp", once wrote that Charlie Cook is “perhaps the best non-partisan tracker of Congressional races.”
In 2010, Charlie was the co-recipient of the American Political Science Association’s prestigious Carey McWilliams award to honor “a major journalistic contribution to our understanding of politics."
