Speculation arises regarding a potential shuffle in the executive branch, drawing parallels to the resignation of Spiro Agnew and Richard Nixon. One theory suggests Kamala Harris might resign, leading to a scenario where Joe Biden could appoint a new Vice President, such as Hillary Clinton, before potentially stepping down himself. The historical precedent of Gerald Ford's popularity and his subsequent pardon of Nixon is discussed as a cautionary tale for political survival.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a bill to create a standing commission on presidential capacity under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment. While Pelosi claims the move is not about Donald Trump, critics argue it is a "guardrail" being set up for a potential Joe Biden presidency. The commission would consist of medical experts and former executive officials to determine if a president is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."

CNN broadcasts a segment detailing the line of presidential succession in the event of a catastrophic attack during the inauguration.

The hosts criticize the segment as fear-mongering and a "native ad" for the ABC show Designated Survivor.
