About this episode

Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr about Maine politics and the implications of Senator Susan Collins' views.

They try to make sense of Senator Susan Collins’ argument against Maine voters. Howie suggests Susan Collins might be suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Former Maine senator Troy Jackson is expected to run against Collins, and Howie says both have Democratic-leaning views, which he thinks aren’t good for Maine. They two also discuss the latest in Maine politics, including Graham Plattner dropping out of the race. The question comes from Mark: should the voting age be raised to 40 to keep younger politicians like Mamdani out of office? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
