President Trump declares victory in Syria despite broad bipartisan condemnation of his decision to abandon the Kurds. He announces what he calls a "permanent" ceasefire and says some U.S. troops will remain behind.

Plus, damning impeachment testimony and growing GOP worries: A veteran diplomat lays out evidence of a Ukraine quid pro quo, and says complaints about Rudy Giuliani's meddling - or damage to national security interests -- were brushed aside.

And a new CNN poll shows a resilient Joe Biden atop the Democratic pack, with a healthy national lead. The former vice president is retracing his roots today in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to make the case he can win back blue collar voters and defeat President Trump.

Today's Panel: CNN's Nia-Malika Henderson, Michael Shear with The New York Times, Laura Barron Lopez with POLITICO, and Karoun Demirjian with The Washington Post

Also on the Program: CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Nick Paton Walsh, David Gergen and Phil Mattingly
