Democrats elation over the election sweep last week quickly turned sour as the government shutdown came to an end. After an estimated $11 Billion in permanent economic damage, Democrats could have made the same exact deal 43 days ago. In other words, Democrats got none of the things they were asking for. Dan Turrentine is here to discuss the lack of strategy going into the shutdown and how Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had no plan of getting out of the shutdown. This abysmal failure by Chuck Schumer has led many to call for his resignation. Schumer's approval rating is so low and AOC polls 15 to 20 points higher than him should she challenge him for his Senate seat. In Virginia, Terry Kilgore is the House Republican Leader in the House of Delegates. Kilgore unpacks the substantial beating Republicans took in the election. Winsome Sears failure to focus her campaign on economics and affordability was essentially her down fall but could current Governor Youngkin done more to help her? Now that Abigail Spanberger is in charge along with a Democratic majority, how will Republicans regroup?
