Democrats' Platner Problem

Maine voters will head to the polls tomorrow to decide who will take on five-term Republican Senator Susan Collins. And somehow, Graham Platner still has a sizable lead in the Democratic primary. You probably know a few things about the presumptive Democratic nominee for Maine’s Senate seat. He served in the Marine Corps and now runs an oyster farm . And you’ve probably heard a lot of other things about Platner over the last few weeks – like about a Nazi tattoo, or his allegedly abusive behavior towards past romantic partners. None of the new information is good . But will it matter to Maine voters? And more importantly, should it? To find out, we spoke with Jon Lovett. He’s co-host of Crooked Media’s Pod Save America. And in headlines, President Donald Trump abruptly ends his interview with NBC’s Meet the Press , Iran and Israel trade fire for the first time since the U.S. agreed to a ceasefire with Tehran, and Chinese President Xi Jinping visits North Korea for the first time in seven years .
