It's Tuesday, October 21st.
I'm Jane Costin, and this is What A Day,
the show congratulating Fox News host Laura Ingram
for doing business with President Donald Trump's family.
And no, not like she does pretty much every evening on her primetime show.
Ingram is now a board member of a new special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC,
led by none other than Donald Trump Jr.
Because why would you make money loudly supporting President Trump when you could also make money quietly supporting all of the Trumps.
On today's show, Trump signs a critical minerals deal with the Prime Minister of Down on Death.
And House Speaker Mike Johnson, a.k.a.
Mad Mike, yearns to be happy again as the shutdown ekes into week three.
But let's start with election day.
In two weeks, millions of Americans will be voting,
but a Supreme Court case could change elections as we know them.
Last week, the court heard arguments in Louisiana v. Calais,
a case that centers on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
Basically, the court is deciding whether or not states can use race to draw voting maps.
In comments made after oral arguments last week outside the Supreme Court,
Louisiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguinaga described the battle as a difficult one for the state of Louisiana.
I think what you heard and saw today in the courtroom was a bench that was fully aware of the difficulties that the states have been in under the court's voting precedents.
