Impeachment ramifications are just beginning to unfold

In the upcoming days, the Senate -- mainly the incoming Majority Leader Chuck Schumer -- will have to grapple with how best to handle an impeachment trial [cnn.com]. The questions about how long the trial will be, when it will be held, how it will be structured? We don't have those answers right now and that's because those decisions haven't been made.

Bottom line: The next several days are going to begin to feel different in Washington. While thousands of National Guard troops sleep on the marble floors [cnn.com] of the Capitol and stand at the dozens of entrances surrounding the complex, a new President is about to be inaugurated. A new Democratic majority is about to take control of the Senate. The dynamics that have governed the last four years? They're coming to an end. And, it's going to take some time to understand how that shifting force is going to impact the impeachment [cnn.com] trial of a soon-to-be former President.

What to watch: Signals and senators

The House and Senate are gone.
