I’m Lisa Lerer, your host. As 2020 approached, we faced one of the wildest political moments in decades: A historically crowded Democratic primary, an impeachment and an unpredictable president.

Yeah, it’s going to be that kind of year. Expect January to be dominated by the three I’s — Impeachment, Iran and Iowa. With so much going on in Washington, on the campaign trail and across the globe, we thought it was time to inaugurate a new newsletter feature: a Monday Mailbag. Yes, I know we’ve been asking you for your questions about politics for months. And while we’ve responded to many of you individually, we haven’t always been exactly diligent about answering all of them. Well, New Year, New Newsletter! Our crack researcher Isabella Grullón Paz went through hundreds of your emails and came up with a few questions that seemed to resonate for several readers. (Some have been condensed for space.) Margaret Steiner had this astute question about President Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate: I am confused.

You say they could form a coalition and “overpower” McConnell to “set the rules” and decide who will be a witness. How do the senators do any of this if, as you state later, they “cannot talk”?

Under Senate rules, it takes only a simple majority to call a witness or request new evidence. Since Republicans hold 53 seats, if four Republicans joined with Senate Democrats, they could have some serious influence on the process. This question is particularly relevant today, given [the announcement by John R.

Democrats want him to testify; Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, has resisted the idea. But if four Republicans broke with Mr. McConnell, Mr. Bolton could be compelled to testify — making those Republicans pretty powerful, indeed. We also got a ton of questions about the Democratic primary. Those are a little easier to answer after this weekend, when the polling gods graced us with our first piece of real data on the race in weeks.

Senator Bernie Sanders is surging, Senator Elizabeth Warren is slipping in New Hampshire, and Joe Biden, the former vice president, seems to be gaining ground in Iowa. James Levinson wants to know whether Mr. Sanders and Ms. Warren could team up to take on Mr. Biden: If Sanders and Warren conclude that neither can beat Biden, and if they also conclude that the enactment of their largely common policies is more important than which of them is in the White House, is there a way they could join forces? The idea of a joint Sanders-Warren ticket is the dream of many liberals. There are no signs that it will happen. While the two senators have abided by a de facto nonaggression pact, they are not in frequent communication and there’s no indication that their camps have discussed any joint effort.

Whether these develop into a more formal strategy will depend on how the primary plays out over the next several months. So, that’s definitely something to watch this spring. Lisa Adams asked: Will Michael Bloomberg be able to participate in the Democratic presidential debates? If so, when, and under what circumstances or criteria? Mr. Bloomberg will not be [on the stage next week](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf9kdpP0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAxOS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9kZW1vY3JhdGljLWRlYmF0ZS1saW5ldXAuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzIHdpdGggbGlzYSBsZXJlciZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDIwMDEwNj9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNDk5NyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIwMDk4JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMjAwMTA2VwNueXRCCgAgacITXtQ_6ddSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) because he hasn’t met the party’s requirement that 225,000 people donate to his campaign. (He’s self-funding his run for president and not accepting donations.) But that could change by the following debate in February, if the Democratic National Committee changes the qualification standards — which officials have said is possible. Speaking of campaign finance, Charlene Fitzpatrick wants to know how much money matters, anyhow. It seems like the competition for the presidency is a competition for fund-raising instead of ideas or plans. Does a president win even if his fund-raising isn’t competitive? And what is all that money spent on anyway? Why do we do this to ourselves? Like endorsements or polling, fund-raising totals offer another way to assess the candidates’ standing in the race. A candidate who is low on cash may struggle to fund a campaign operation for the long haul — or even in the shorter haul, as the 15 candidates [who’ve dropped out of the primary](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf9kdpP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2ludGVyYWN0aXZlLzIwMTkvdXMvcG9saXRpY3MvMjAyMC1wcmVzaWRlbnRpYWwtY2FuZGlkYXRlcy5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9b24tcG9saXRpY3Mgd2l0aCBsaXNhIGxlcmVyJmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuXzIwMjAwMTA2P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE0OTk3JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjAwOTgmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyMjAyMDAxMDZXA255dEIKACBpwhNe1D_p11IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) have found. But it’s far from a perfect predictor: In 2016, Hillary Clinton outspent Mr. Trump by nearly two to one, and we all know how that turned out. The money is spent on the kind of things you’d probably expect — office space, staff salaries, lawyers and especially advertising — but also on things you might not expect.

Cory Booker becomes a Wing man Tory Williams/The Wing Nick Corasaniti, your Tuesday newsletter host, followed Cory Booker today to a place neither of them would normally be invited. Here’s his report: Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey sat before a nearly all-female audience on Monday at a New York City branch of the Wing, a women’s club and co-working space, and was asked a question: Why shouldn’t the next president be a woman? Mr. Booker responded by saying that his “heart, soul and spirit fought harder than ever before” to elect Hillary Clinton in 2016. But right now, he said, “I believe I have the best message and reason and, frankly, the right stuff it takes to be the president.” He quickly added, “If I’m president of the United States, whoever my vice president will be, she will be amazing.” See what he did there? The often exuberant Mr. Booker brought his always-turned-up-to-11 delivery to the Wing, speaking unprompted about topics like [“menstrual equity”](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf9kdpP0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOC8wNy8yMi9oZWFsdGgvdGFtcG9uLXRheC1wZXJpb2RzLW1lbnN0cnVhdGlvbi1ueXQuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzIHdpdGggbGlzYSBsZXJlciZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDIwMDEwNj9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNDk5NyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIwMDk4JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMjAwMTA2VwNueXRCCgAgacITXtQ_6ddSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) — the idea that menstrual products should be affordable and not taxed — and his fight to make tampons free for women in prisons. He also delivered a rare near-obscenity (he often relies on the phrase “dagnab”) when discussing his efforts to protect the right to an abortion. “This is not an issue that men should say, ‘Oh, I understand this issue because I have a wife, I have a daughter,’” he said. “No. You have a freaking body. And this is an attack on someone’s body and the ability to control the sanctity of your body.” Mr. Booker was the first cisgender man invited to speak at the Wing, which was founded three years ago in New York and [has since grown](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf9kdpP0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxNy8xMS8xMS9zdHlsZS90aGUtd2luZy13b21lbnMtc29jaWFsLWNsdWItbWFnYXppbmUuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzIHdpdGggbGlzYSBsZXJlciZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDIwMDEwNj9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNDk5NyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIwMDk4JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMjAwMTA2VwNueXRCCgAgacITXtQ_6ddSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) to more than 12,000 members at over a dozen locations in the United States and abroad.

Many of her members, she said, were eager to hear from Senator Elizabeth Warren.
