** Call Me Maybe
------------------------------------------------------------
Late this afternoon, the
Washington Post reported that retired Marine General James N. Mattis will be named secretary of defense in an incoming Trump cabinet. Almost directly after the announcement, this was denied by a Trump transition team spokesman. Stay tuned (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-has-chosen-retired-marine-gen-james-mattis-for-secretary-of-defense/2016/12/01/6c6b3b74-aff9-11e6-be1c-8cec35b1ad25_story.html?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_mattis-4pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.6b53c95da61d&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5bb16f8c4c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5bb16f8c4c-145367789) .

** Hollande Won’t Go On
------------------------------------------------------------
For the first time in over 50 years, France’s president will not stand for reelection. French president Francois Hollande made the announcement today, leaving his Socialist Party in search of a candidate in advance of the April and May elections. CNN has the story (http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/01/europe/french-president-francois-hollande-will-not-seek-re-election/?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5bb16f8c4c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5bb16f8c4c-145367789) as well as a graphic (http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/01/europe/french-president-francois-hollande-will-not-seek-re-election/?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5bb16f8c4c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5bb16f8c4c-145367789) on how the French presidential election system works.

Dive deeper: CSIS’s Jeff Rathke penned this piece (https://www.csis.org/analysis/whats-next-france-after-fillons-primary-victory/?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5bb16f8c4c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5bb16f8c4c-145367789) today reflecting on the upcoming election and the possibility of France being the next country to experience a populist wave.

Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei became really famous for being the engine behind
Politico (Robert Allbritton, John Harris, and a whole bunch of great journalists had something to do with it too.) Now Allen, VandeHei and others are launching Axios and making big bets that it will prove to be the “New New Journalism.” The Axios Manifesto (https://www.axios.com/manifesto.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5bb16f8c4c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5bb16f8c4c-145367789) explains why.
