Although stricter firearms laws were not successfully passed in 2020, they will be important in the 2020 campaign.
"Gun safety activists see a silver lining in the defeat of stricter firearms laws this year in the Minnesota Legislature.
With the 2020 elections coming into view, DFL-backed gun measures are likely to remain a potent organizing tool, particularly among young voters growing up in an age of school shootings, a chronic problem that could put pressure on Senate Republican holdouts."

Republicans are pushing back against Trump's proposal to put tariffs on Mexico.
"Republicans are warning President Donald Trump that he could sabotage his hopes of a new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico if he follows through on plans to impose harsh new tariffs on the latter country.
"The [U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement] would provide much-needed certainty to our agriculture community, at a time when they need it," Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said in a statement Friday. "If the president goes through with this, I’m afraid progress to get this trade agreement across the finish line will be stifled.""

It doesn't look like we're quite to impeachment yet.
"Trump's approval rating, meanwhile, holds exactly even with where it was in late April -- 43% approve and 52% disapprove of the President, according to the poll. That's the case even as support for impeachment rose slightly from 37% last month to 41% now.
Similarly, those backing impeachment hit 43% in December, down from CNN's previous high mark of this question with 47% in September 2018. The new poll finds 54% are against impeachment."
