| Happy Saturday. ☕️ |
Welcome to the first 2020 edition of FT Now! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Now, down to business! In North Carolina, Democrat Roy Cooper was hit with a report this week exposing just how few campaign promises he’s kept during his three years in office. California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom is also facing not-so-great reviews for his first year in office. And in Washington, officials spent much of the last few days arguing over Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to stall sending articles of impeachment to the Senate. While it looks like the stalemate may be over soon, it’s fair to say lawmakers are fed up. Read below for

| Forget About New Years Resolutions, Dem Gov Roy Cooper Can’t Even Keep His Campaign Promises |
| What Happened: |
| A new report exposes how North Carolina Democrat Governor Roy Cooper has failed to deliver on the majority of campaign promises he made. In fact, according to WRAL, "Cooper has succeeded in fulfilling only 7 of the 31 promises he made to North Carolinians." |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Gov. Cooper’s poor record begs the question: Will he just say anything to get elected? |
| What Happens Next: |
| Cooper is up for re-election this fall, so he’ll have a lot of explaining to do to voters between now and November. |

| California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s "Uneven" First Year |
| What Happened: |
| The Los Angeles Times has taken a look at Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s first year in office and the results are...mixed. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Newsom’s governing style was described by some as "undisciplined" and "impatient." Critics are also worried that "turbulence" from the governor’s office could inhibit any ability to fix the state’s most pressing crises - including the levels of homelessness throughout the state. |
| What Happens Next: |
| Unfortunately, we’re not that optimistic that Newsom or his far-left, big-government agenda will change anytime soon. |

| Pelosi Announces Plans to Send Impeachment Articles To Senate |
| What Happened: |
| After refusing to transmit impeachment articles to the Senate, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced plans on Friday to do just that. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Pelosi’s ill-conceived strategy has had everyone scratching their head for weeks. Wasn’t impeachment a national emergency? Even fellow Democrats were starting to publicly voice frustration with her. Looks like she’s finally caving. |
| What Happens Next: |
| Expect Pelosi to make it official sometime next week. After that, the Senate begins its trial. |
