The Race to Replace Graham Platner
About this episode
The episode discusses Graham Platner's exit from the Senate race and the implications for Maine Democrats, alongside a conversation about Trump's actions and an interview with Roy Cooper regarding his Senate campaign in North Carolina.
Graham Platner announces he's ending his Senate campaign, and Maine Democrats scramble to replace him. Dan and Alex Wagner discuss the state of the race, what it'll take to get a new name on the ballot, and why so many (but not Alex) were wrong about Platner. Then, they discuss Trump restarting the war with Iran, the administration's socialist plan to lower gas prices for a select few in Philadelphia, and why Trump is trading in his new Air Force One for the old one. Finally, former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper talks to Dan about his campaign for Senate and what it'll take to flip the Tar Heel State blue for the first time since 2008.
