Good Tuesday morning. I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico Playbook audio briefing. Stay tuned after the show for a message from Google.

I'm Jake Sherman. As you might have read in Playbook, the USMCA was the Trump administration's top legislative priority.

And to their credit, working with Democrats. The White House got it through a Congress beset by partisanship.

On Wednesday, the White House is hosting a big signing ceremony

for the deal. Of course, Democrats played a massive role. Just asked the White House who told reporters

for months the fate of the bill was in Nancy Pelosi's hands. But now that it's time to celebrate,

Democrats are out in the cold. In a closed-door meeting Monday night, Pelosi briefly mentioned

It's a little petty of him, Quayar said, referring to the president. There were more Democrats who voted in favor than Republicans on the House side, Quayar said. We heard late Monday the White House was considering a few invites. There was some internal tension, though, because of impeachment. And the New Times has another big scoop from John Bolton's new book,

where he writes that he was concerned and privately talked to Attorney General Bill Barr last year

that President Donald Trump did favors for autocratic leaders. And here's where things stood late

Monday with regards to Republican and Democratic senators.

Republicans feel decent because they believe Monday should have been the day nervous GOP senators

broke toward demanding witnesses. And they didn't. At this point, in their view, it's still just

Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Senator Mitt Romney of Utah.
