It's Thursday, November 6th.
I'm Todd Zwillick in Virginia, Coastin, and this is What A Day,
the show watching House Speaker Mike Johnson process his party's brutal election losses one stage of grief at a time.
First, of course, there's denial.
I don't think the loss last night was any reflection about Republicans at all.
Then there's anger.
I think people are frustrated and angry as we are.
Then you move on to bargaining.
We look forward.
We're looking forward to a great election running on our record.
And we're going to get all of our incumbents reelected.
And depression.
We woke up very early.
And we talked about the outcome.
Still waiting on that final stage, Mike.
What does it take to reach acceptance when you're Mike Johnson?
On today's show, President Donald Trump notches another record into his belt,
the longest government shutdown in American history.
And in California, Republicans sue the state over Prop 50 just hours after it passes.
But let's start with the Supreme Court.
